  • THANKS brilliant video u now understand, i got told i had to have a root canal not fully today got anyibiotics as now i have an infmalled roots so got Amoxicillin? three times a day for 5 days....hopefully all goes well i got told it many not work and i may need crown and it will cost alot : ( im 19 i cant afford it!

  • what happens when my root canal is bleediing!

  • while my dentist was giving me a root canal i didnt feel any pain. When my anesthesia wore off it hurt like hell i took some Motrin and it didnt hurt for 6hours+

  • Root canals do hurt...i was given soooo much Novocaine that i was tasting it. it was only during the filing process that i felt pain however, but those 2 days of pain were well worth it compared to the the pain i had pre-root canal~

  • it hurts so much if they dont numb u properly it feels like sticking needle through ur gums

  • Just went to the dentist today, they drilled in one of my teeth, didn't feel anything. They numb you up so much you can't feel anything

  • Could someone put my mind at rest? I have a slight toothache, but I can stand it. I can actually forget about it easily and the pain goes away, but I think its getting worse. Im going to see the dentist some time in the next 3 weeks and I was wondering how he will treat this? I'm used to fillings, I find that they are pain free and put my mind to rest. However, im not sure if he is going to give me a root canal. I've never had one before and im scared. I'd much rather have a comfortable filling.

  • My dentist considers a root canal a cosmetic surgery and tells me my insurance won't cover it. $1500. Yeah, right.

  • @tallen43 Umm i think your friend could get implants or something.. i don't know i'm not a dentist

  • @SugarPlumCheese i mean so wat is the cosmetic procedure and options after the pain is gone.  After yu pull the teeth. Cause my friend wanna pul two front teeth but im like yu gone have wholes in your mouth and your too young to be snagg?
