- WalterBright 4y agoReally? I remember a thread on reddit about the HBO series Chernobyl. A lot of posters who lived through it commented. One I recall said that root canals were free in the USSR, but you didn't get any anesthetic. Another commented that the hospital stay was free, but you had to bribe the nurses to take care of you. Having had a root canal myself, it's "no thanks" to free communist health care.

- wyre 4y agoI’d rather suffer through it and live, than die because I couldn’t afford it.
- WalterBright 4y agoA root canal is an attempt to save what's left of the tooth. The alternative is an extraction.
