Sitting at the dentist.....bout to have a root canal

A root canal is no different than getting a filling. Just a little more digging Winner.

Must be that superior Canadian healthcare where a root canal = a filling. Having a root canal in Canada...winning EH?

Winner...
I hope the post rootcanal
medication inspires a winning night!

I like to have a rootcanal now and
again to break a losing slump.

My root canal took 2 hours, two more visits for crowns but ended up with a gold molar bling bling

Ya im going to have to get 2 crowns here at the end of the month. Not to bad, just dont like being at the dentist.

I dont know where your from, or what your paying, but if your going to the bash in CR, get them done there...about a 1/3 of the price, better quality

Really? Hope they said you have to come back to complete it. It isn't a one shot deal.

I thought you and I were on good terms Paddy???

**big joe 1212** · 04-07-11, 11:21 PM

only difference than a filling is you can't chew on the root canal for a while

**Wulfman14** · 04-07-11, 11:24 PM

have had many friends go through this and all said it was a piece of cake.

Fair enough Paddy!!!

**hostile takeover** · 04-08-11, 09:48 AM

those places suck and they make you wait forever.

**Br0nxer** · 04-08-11, 10:23 PM

root canal nothing.

try an apico which is what you have to get when root canal goes sideways.

just had one three weeks ago. takes 6 months to heal and feel right. still in pain everyday

**Shortstop** · 04-08-11, 11:11 PM

I hope everything went well and that you're feeling better, Iwin!

**Doug** · 04-08-11, 11:22 PM

Root canals used to be a lot harder years ago. My dentist is hot and 25, I almost don't mind seeing her.

**Hootie Johnson** · 04-09-11, 01:34 AM

I had an apico once and the stupid tooth still failed. Dentist should have to give $$$ back.

**SBRMAN23** · 04-09-11, 01:39 AM

Damn never had one hope all is well

**beerman2619** · 04-09-11, 07:22 AM

this one failed too hootie. and my insurance was maxed out at the time and had to pay for almost whole procedure myself.

Had a dental implant about 6 years ago on one of my front teeth. Man was that a bitch. First get the remainder of the old tooth out. Wait for that to heal. Go back and they cut it back open to "add bone" where the bone in the jaw that has receded over the years. Wait for that to heal. Go back and get the actual implant placed in the jaw. That has to heal. Finally get the tooth placed (screwed into) the implant. Whole process took over 4 months. Better than a permanent bridge, but man was that an ordeal.
