Title: Is having root canal fun?

I've never had it done before.
My dentist said that I have a cavity in my back
left lower molar - (Approximately the size of
Lake Superior). So she sent me to this endodontics
place. The appointment is today.

After the root canal, the dentist will 'install' a crown
on the molar.

Yesterday I bought Glucerna vanilla shakes for
nutrition in case I can't chew anything.
This is going to be 'fun', right? Ugg.

You'll be totally numb from about four Novocaine shots. NOT the procedure it was years ago, Chuck.

Hopefully your dentist is competent. Make sure he gives you an antibiotic. You'll be ok :-)

Was 2 novocaine shots, not 4. How many units?
I didn't ask. And those shots were by far the
most painful part of the process - so far.
They gave me a script for percoset - so maybe it
will start to hurt when the novocaine wears off.

But the gob of goop they put in the hole in the tooth
as a temporary filling was pretty big - so the
original hole must have been pretty big, because
they really didn't do much grinding and
ultrasounding - just a little bit.

Gonna go back to the dentist and have a crown put on
the tooth.

Many people tend to whine and complain about root canal,
but so far it has been no big deal at all.
But I'll back to y'all when the novocaine wears off.

No more novocaine - no longer numb.
And just a mild toothache.
This is okay!

And Bob, regarding the 'dead thing' -
quite frankly I think the nerve/tooth was already dead.
On the X-ray the nerve was already exposed -
the Doc showed it to me. So shouldn't I have been in
agonizing pain? I was, and am, not.

Hey -- so two shots instead of four? Nice. Half the expected...fun...er, I mean pain. Grip the handles of the chair, a couple of pinches. Meh. Over and done with.

The percs. Yeah, they'll help. Your jaw will probably be achy. Use only if needed. Save for future hurts.

Yeah. "Root Canal" used to be an ordeal a looong time ago. The rep still scares the crap out of people. If your dentist is as competent as I suggested, he properly sterilized the hole in the tissue. Ought to address your prob. But yeah, he still has to replace the temp crown with the permanent. THAT will take some expertise. Some people believe Root Canals and crowns present a possible toxicity SNAFU and suggest a bridge instead.

Glad you endured, Chuck. Hang in for PT 2.
