I'd root your canal

Muse. Dental work is never fun.

Awwwww
One night,I was in so much pain from my wisdom tooth. My fiance took me to the dental school. I was like "No way and Im gonna let some college kid take out my tooth!" But I couldnt wait another minute!
They did a good job,it didnt hurt. I had the rest taken out,that same day. It was like 60 bucks.

I am in so much damn pain I cant see straight... Should i be? Anyone else had that after a root canal? ( Waiting for the store to open! )

I have had one done before but had novocain with mine. Was great. When i came around teh dentist told me I never stopped talking and kept on going on about getting my legs waxed

I had some discomfort for a couple of days. Hope you feel better soon.

yeah, i had one done on one of my front teeth like 6 months ago...I had headaches for days but I still went to work right after it was done plus I went to a wedding two days after. I was ok....I hate the sound of a drill!

I just took 4 advil and am starting to feel a bit better..... yikes!

What is a root canal? How does one know when it's time to get wisdom teeth pulled? Which teeth are those?

Sorry that I don't know. I have no cavities and only go to the dentist for cleanings.

co-

I had a sweet tooth as a kid, probably had 3 or 4 fillings, had a brace and then a plate before being told my jaw had grown and was moving everything around again, dropped the brace because I was 17 and wanted a gf (big mistake, I had no game anyway), came to Thailand, looked after my teeth as far as keeping them very clean and everything, but haven't been to a dentist in 5 years now.

Now, I started smoking 3 years ago and gave up a couple of months ago, but have always been meticulous about keeping my choppers clean. However, I've used quite a bit of whitening stuff since the smoking started and I'm pretty sure I've done some major damage. I'm just waiting for something to kick off in my mouth and cause a world of pain, but until then I'm loathe to go to a dentist. I don't even know if it's because I'm here in Thailand specifically, or whether it's just dentists in general. I haven't been to either a doctor or dentist in 6 years, and that was for a HIV test :gulp: and so it's probably been 7 or 8 years. I think I'm developing a phobia. I've had a quite obviously torn achilles, many back spasms, a hyper-extended knee (again! old injury), severe chest pains and an ankle injury that had me off my feet for a week, yet still I've never been to a hospital here.

OH LAWD!!!

VICODIN! VICODIN! VICODIN!

For $800 I would've demanded a fondling to go with that root canal....but that's just me.

poor baby! A denist told me to take 2 tylenols and two motrins at the same time and that'll equal one pain medication that she would have given me and it did work... I hate taking drugs! But I was ok...

Thanks guys... I think i won the wrong lottery.... One in a zillion experience severe pain and problems like I am having.... If one more client, friend or family member says " I never had ANY pain after they fixed it." I am going to personally cause them a whole lot of pain. I have had 2 C-sections and in 24 hours took a few tylenol no problem I can take pain. I am still suffering badly. I did call the Dr. and he swares im fine give it another day...

I can't be up a 3rd night in a row so I have cancelled my clients for tomorrow and have taken a VICODIN! I don't do well with meds ( there is a reason my medicine cabinets are filled with perfume....) so wish me luck....

I feel like I have lost 3 days of my life.

Whew! Where do I begin? Any pain in the chest, above the diaphragm, is considered cardiac in origin unless otherwise ruled out.(according to cardiologists) If you've never been treated for these symptoms before,you need to see a physician. 30 and 40 year olds have heart attacks. Think Jim Fixx, the famous runner, who died of a heart attack in his 40's.
I read recently those over the counter whitening formulas for teeth erode the enamel.
Are you bedridden???? I would be....

As bad as a root canal is, my husband had a problematic bad tooth, bottom and in the back. He decided to just get it pulled, rather than anything else done. (We have dental insurance)
He had it removed yesterday. The tooth he had in mind, that was going to be removed, isn't the one taken out.....
