??? Root Canal???

[Island Girl]

I don't think I have ever complained on this site before but I figured ahhh what the H***! I had to go for a root canal today.... wowsers they really tore my mouth a new one I have to go back next week for a wisdom tooth extracted and to get my root canal tooth completly built up! (same day) they told me that I would be fine to work the same day but I was wondering if anyone has had the same thing done should I not go to work???? Does it hurt???? Oh yeah I don't take medication either so the pain will not be masked

Depending how much your wisdom tooth is impacted will determine the amount of pain. Most of the pain will be soreness in your jaw from the trauma to get at the tooth. You'll do just fine.

The wisdom tooth they are taking out is hardly visible I am a little concerned about the whole thing! Most of it is under my gum!!! I have a feeling this one is going to hurt! They are not going to put me under either (can you hear the tooth cracking in half cause I have heard some stories and from what I have heard it does not sound like fun!)From all the Shi& they put in my mouth today I can only imagine what they are gonna do next week......

If clammer sees this I know he would be compationate....lmao like he is w/ the bloooos I'm not worried! I heard he was medicated from his boating experience anyway!

I never had a root canal but I had all mywisdom teeth taken out at the same time. Mine were a mess, growing straight out sideways, straight forward etc. so they put me under. I'm glad they did. Jaws definately sore afterward.

You're not going to take anything for it?

I have had my wisdom teeth all pulled, never been put out. If you can deal with the root canal (not the building back up part, thats nothing) having them extract the wisdoms will be no problem.. Like others have said, your jaw will be more sore than anything(no comment)
So, I wouldn't worry too much, you will be just fine...

p.s. after you get home, don't take any calls asking you to change a tire, I did and I bleed like a stuck pig trying to force the lug nuts loose

Good Luck!

Had 2 root canals done at the same time, needed the novicaine for the procedure but I was ok afterward. At the worst it felt like a dull tootheache and ibuprophen took care of that.
Still have all my wisdom teeth.

You'll be fine. Just don't plan on having any coffe afterwards. You may be wearing most of it.

RC is not too bad if edo dentist is good. Ocean state Endo works for me. Wisdom teeth.....have it done on a Friday with lots of novicain or total knock out. You can't get hooked on Ibuprophen 800's and they work....don't even worry about fam history. Clammer would find way to tie tooth to rampaging blufish and let it pull tooth. One more reason for him to hate the Bluz!
