Root Canal. Worse Than Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

I need to know beforehand, that way i'll know wether or not to go with the painkillers. I got three of my wisdom teeth pulled out before and it hurt like hell and all i had was 10 percocets or darvocets, i forget which.

You won't feel a thing. Just had one done a couple of months ago. I think I was only taking advil for a couple of days because there is a little discomfort when eating just because of the work done to the tooth and the pressure you put on it.

Ive had 2 root canals done on the same tooth. Ive also had 4 wisdom teeth pulled. The root canals a piece of cake. Only minor soreness after u leave the dentist office. No need for painkillers unless u wanna party.

Why wouldn't you go with painkillers?

not sure if my medical coverage has kicked in yet. have to check.

yeah the assisstant said it wouldn't be as bad as wisdom teeth extraction but she didn't sound very convincing.

With this kind of attitude it doesn't surprise me that threads like THIS are constantly posted in this forum.

i slammed my finger in the door last night if it makes you feel any better.

just got a DUI a month and a half ago. so I'm off the alcohol and drug wagon for a while.

peace out.

that sucks. i got a buddy thats going through that same bullshit. just crash a buddys pad next time or call someone for a ride. fuck the risk.

and yea sucks about the door too. last time i did that that shit hurt like a bitch!

but why not get free drugs if you can? even if you dont want to use them, give them to friends, or hell sell them to friends. if i was your friend id be more than happy to take or buy them from you. its pretty simple if you ask me.

i was knocked out for my wisdom teeth so the procedure was fine, but hurt for a day afterwards

as for the root canal, i have a ridiculous tolerance for novicaine so after 5 shots of it without it helping all that much i just said fuck it, as i didn't think my coverage would go for a full other appt. just to have my knocked out. anyways, that was probably the greatest pain i've felt in my life. at first i just dug my thumb nails into the sides of my index fingers to distract myself, but by the end both my hands were bleeding and i still was about to pass out from the pain

then again, next day i was absolutely fine

so basically, if they're free, get em. if not, pass

novicaine FTW!!!!!!1
get some ice cream a couple hours later, it made my day so much better

no way. if u take some ibuprofen before the local wears off, then that's all you ever need. with extractions, there's the washing out twice daily with warm saltwater to sterilise & help healing, the blood tastes, and more jaw pain from the sheer torque being put on to wrench them out.

Yes, like going to the Dentist's office and walking off with free painkillers.

I'm glad I don't have shitty teeth and/or dental problems.

Posted by FallingMoon on Sep-13-2007 13:25:

I need to get a root canal done but I'm so chicken. I hate the dentist and anything sharp attacking the inside of my mouth.
