Root Canal Treatment

[@raizoadams]

Had my root canal treatment at the local dental centre. Prior to the treatment, I was very scared of how painful the treatment sounds like. I was amazed that it was painless during and even after the treatment. Trust me.

[@chloesmith2272]

how did the shots feel

[@raizoadams]

+chloe smith it's not that bad. It may hurt a bit at the start but when the anaesthesia takes over, it won't hurt anymore. Depends on how your body reacts to it. You should feel numb afterwards. Tell your dentist if it still hurts. He'll be more than happy to administer another shot.

[@turbonbc]

Its only painful if your dentist uses weak cheap needles or your gum/tooth is swollen then even 3 needles won't work. I suggest waiting for the swelling to go away or doing it before it gets swollen.

[@Acen1080]

raizoadams I know I just had mine today they numbed my gums and took the cavity out for me

[@jdntms]

I just recently got a root canal done and I wanted to see what happened, but then I figure out the guy talking sounds like he's about to give us the instructions to do the fitness gram pacer test.

[@Angelica-cj5wf]

Harambe does it hurt while doing the procedure?

[@jdntms]

xX Angel While you're getting it, they'll give you 2-4 shots on the side where your getting the procedure done. It won't hurt if you have more of the shots, but after you have the root canal done, about a day or two later it will hurt just a little bit

[@Angelica-cj5wf]

Harambe thanks for the information

[@boringplace7752]

Harambe help me lord. i am having one in the future.. What was it like, my lord?

[@yomommalovedeeznutz2659]

Harambe rip

[@crsh2007]

Just had a root canal yesterday and it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. My dentist is awesome - the freezing needle didn't even hurt, and he stopped to give me more freezing when I needed it! The pain afterwards was minimal - honestly, the pain leading UP to a root canal is 100 times worse :S I'm so glad I can eat properly again! If you need one done, GET IT DONE! It'll save you so much pain and stress and the cost of it (even without insurance) is definitely worth it!

[@TheReaperHunter]

I happily would if i had some spare couple thousand bucks laying around...

[@crsh2007]

It doesn't cost more than a few hundred dollars (here in Canada anyway), and your insurance should cover most of the cost. Mine was only about $300. Pricey, yes, but worth it!

[@TheReaperHunter]

lac92576 YOU CALL A $300 BILL PRICEY!?!?!, People here in the US would sacrifice children for that kind of price!!

[@crsh2007]

Reaper_Hunter Haha! I see your point. Either way, it's worth it to get it done and save yourself the pain and aggravation :/ I'll PAY the $2000 to be able to eat and sleep again!

[@TheReaperHunter]

lac92576 Yeah, i would to in a heart beat if i had that kinda money to spare..

[@OrthoArlington]

Thanks for making this video. Root canal is a big problem, but having a good treatment like this is really a big help.

[@mcfc_matthew9158]

I had root canal today and it's really not that bad. As long as you have the anaesthetic you won't feel any pain what so ever. You literally just have to sit there for 45 minutes with your mouth open. You might feel a little pain after it but that's normal. People make root canal out to be a massive thing but it's really not so don't worry.

[@fullsend4life888]

I had a root canal yesterday. The thing is. I waiting way to long to get one done. So the cavity was in the tissue. So when he started drilling i felt it and he had to inject me inside the nerve. It was the worst 20 seconds of my life. So guys, don't wait long to get it done.

[@vampydeer9483]

This happened to me today, tho he wanted to do it without anesthetic saying i didnt need it but fuck me I needed it, after wasnt so bad, now waiting for numbing to go 😅

[@adamCarter20]

I just had one done, it was easy peasy lemon squeezy! had two needles to numb everything, so I didn't feel a thing, almost put me to sleep it was so relaxing.

[@tricdaddy316]

Everybody has different experiences about their root canal procedure so I'll discuss mine for those who may be interested. I had to get one done on my upper right 3rd molar. The first thing the dentist did to me was inject a local anesthetic into my gums and after 5 minutes the right side of my face went numb. Next with my mouth wide open fully conscious of what's going on he drills into the tooth (this DOES NOT hurt at all, but you are fully aware of what's happening). Then he scrapes inside the tooth the clean the canal again you're aware of this happening, but CAN'T FEEL anything. After he inserts a filling and it's done. Although now I have to eat food on the other side of my mouth and then I have to go back in a couple of weeks to get a crown installed. But my main point is for me there was absolutely no pain.

[@FearAthena]

A.J. Vasquez did you have any pain in the tooth before the procedure was done?

[@tricdaddy316]

Jessica Soriano no, luckily for me when my tooth collapsed it avoided exposing the nerve so there was no pain, but like I said before everyone is different just because you feel no pain, doesn't mean you shouldn't get your teeth checked just to be safe

[@princesak6231]

do you have a choice, to be put asleep?

[@tricdaddy316]

Princesa K you could ask the dentist, but I don't think they put you to sleep for a root canal probably for safety reasons. Like I mentioned before they do give you Novocain which numbs the tooth they're working on

[@princesak6231]

thank you

[@jamesbarratt593]

I just had route canal only an hour ago. This video is very informative and thanks. Honestly the only pain I felt throughout was having the second needle and that was for a second. Really I was in agony before and now recovering under a duvet.

[@MadMetalShop]

that was because of infection. if it weren't for the infection then you wouldn't need the second shot. anesthetics have hard time getting through infections so alot of the time they'll give you another shot right in the tooth down the canal. this is what I always opt for Reguardless.

[@sharmapunit]

Had the first visit today. Experienced pain in the beginning. Informed the dentist and he gave more anesthesia. After that it was no pain. Have to go next week for the final filling.

[@Lauren-S]

I'm having my first root canal done friday morning and this scares me a lot

[@belovedchild8055]

I just had a root canal done today and I wanted to understand what took the doctor so long. She said I had 5 canals and showed me the X-rays after she was done. I hope she didn't miss anything. Thank you for this video. It helped me understand a lot.

[@malteeaser101]

... I'm going to brush my teeth now.

[@Ari-cs7uw]

Controversy Owl brushing teeth doesnt prevent having to get a root canal.

[@malteeaser101]

Crowley Right?? Pretty sure the cavities and holes come from bacteria.

[@Ari-cs7uw]

Controversy Owl well it's not just a holes it could be an infection which sometimes just happens

[@malteeaser101]

Crowley Right?? You said that brushing your teeth doesn't prevent having a root canal.

[@Ari-cs7uw]

Controversy Owl i also said it sometimes just happens

[@YouTuballer]

Depends on the tooth location and how skilled your dentist is. I had two root canals done by two different dentists this week, one in a bottom right molar and one in my front upper tooth. The front one, which I imagined would be more painful, was COMPLETELY painless! I literally did not feel a thing. For the bottom molar though, I felt two really stinging shots. It was like my brain got zapped but it's very brief, it lasts about one second then goes away. It's well worth it though!

[@MarceCorona]

I just had a root canal 10 minutes ago. It was a long visit, over two hours! Sadly the dentist couldn't finish it in one appointment and I have to go back in two and a half weeks. I'm concerned about pain in between appointments. He said I had 3 roots instead of 2 and one was very hard to reach so he put some medication and it needs time for the inflammation to get better. I hope everything goes ok :(

[@niahj.7249]

Omg I'm sorry that is happening to you 😥💗🙏🏾

[@jamproductions5136]

Same thing happened to me! He found three Canals so he just put medicine and I have have to come back later it's sucks

[@MarceCorona]

Janiah Jones Thank you. I do need prayers, now I have a kind of pneumonia and have to wait maybe two more weeks to get the procedure done. So stressed about it. But God knows better :(

[@MarceCorona]

JAM Productions And how are you doing with your root canal? Did you have any pain? I was in excruciating pain that night. My second visit was scheduled for today but I have a kind of pneumonia and have to wait until I am healthy. I'm concerned because I only have the temporary filling. I am in total misery :(

[@Bigtruck12456]

How painful is it?

[@OriginalGren]

I just got a root canal treatment today. No of the procedure was painful! My toth was a little dizzy an hour after but not in pain. It is now 12 hours ago and my tooth feels normal again!

[@jgc4481]

i just got my root canal done and now i am scared of another root canal

[@02sabby02]

Very informative video! I had a previous root canal done before but never knew what the process entailed. Thanks.

[@SakuraBlossomable]

I just had my root canal last 3 days ago. The procedure is fine. It didn't hurt me when he did the 1st canal of my tooth, but the 2nd part I felt the pain. The dentist has to put anesthesia so he can proceed. I didn't feel pain after it finished but when the anesthesia slowly going away, I can start feeling the pain. And it's horrible! The dentist told me that It'll gonna hurt after the root canal procedure and yeah he was right. It hurts when I talk and when I eat. The tooth is so sensitive if its hits by a food or your neighbor tooth when you talk. It's so painful and I have to bare it for less than 2 weeks but he said it'll go away. The reason I had this is not because of the cavities, it's the impacted tooth that damaged the neighbor tooth. Until now it hurts. I'm only taking pain killers.

[@Bob23973]

Did you had medicine/antibiotic injected into the tooth at the end? I had. That's what caused a MAJOR pain to me after she killed the tooth (nerve).

[@SakuraBlossomable]

Yes, I had. The 1st session was to put medicine in root canal procedure and that was a horrible pain after the anesthesia went away. Then I had my 2nd session in root canal last week for the filling. I came back when there's no pain anymore. The dentist did put that long needle again but this time it's not painful during the process and no anesthesia injected in my gums, probably because the nerve is dead so I don't feel any pain. But he told me after the root canal procedure I will feel the pain again after 2 days and he said it's normal. Just take pain killers he said. But this time the pain is bearable and not worst like the 1st procedure. It lasts maybe 5 days. I don't feel any pain in my tooth now. Next week I'll comeback for the last procedure. He will put a crown on my tooth to cover it. Then it's finished.

[@daniellahernandez8742]

SakuraBlossomable I'm sorry bother you but I got quick question ???Did it hurt when they took the tooth out like did you feel anything ?

[@daniellahernandez8742]

Was it really painful during the root canal procedure when they tale it out

[@MissMaweja]

omg I'm going in tommorow!

[@amanbin]

you cant render information to the patients better then this......amazing video..

[@SupahM4]

Got 2 root canals fixed today. Didn't feel a thing. Just heard what they were doing. It's not that bad!

[@GRMetroDental]

It’s interesting to note that necrosis can stem from dental visits too. Abscesses resulting from this condition can be fatal thus you need to be careful in choosing your dentist.

[@enchanteDREAMer01]

to be honest, if I knew how important and "life threatening" tooth infections were, I would've taken care of my teeth more. XD

[@rodinasalem6112]

I had the second session with my dentist yesterday. He put the root fillings at that time. My experience, which is very close (also I live in Egypt, our equipment isn't the best) My dentist put a local anesthetic on the part by a cotton where I was going to be injected by the stronger anesthesia The first time he did that, I was scared that it was going to hurt but surprisingly nothing did, I actually almost fell asleep in the chair. The first session, he cleaned the decay from my tooth with a small drill that spat water (don't know its name lol) He put temporary fillings afterwards (it took about an hour for the whole thing to finish, before he started, he waited till the top of my chin was numb) He said there might be pain the first night. Didn't happen. It only hurt on the second day and on the third day (the day for the second session) I was screaming for my mother because I couldn't even touch my tooth for some reason. Second session is when things got a bit weird. I told him about the pain, he said there can be an infection that is causing my jaw to hurt. He said he was going to clean a bit more, The thing is, he removed the crown of my tooth. Why? My tooth's height is now half it's corresponding on the other side. Odd. (all of this was under anesthesia, btw.) The only thing that hurt was when he got something like a needle (it was shaped like a root) and started digging around with, but the pain was almost none existent, it was like a needle touching you every once and a while. Sometime after He used the root drill, and got out a device that had a root needle (a hook was inside my mouth (cheek, lips, inside mouth- if that makes sense) and the needle was in my tooth) to measure the length of my root, so he could drill it and shape it to insert the root fillings, he did all of that without so much pain. But the pain came for me when the anesthesia started to leave, I was suddenly crying, and screaming for my mum to help me with something. The pain killers helped a bit, but it took a while and the pain was honestly unbelievable. I have no idea why it hurt so much, he said it might hurt a bit on the first night and to take pain killers but my jaw started to get swallowed, is this really normal? (sorry for my bad English, hope I helped in anything or that you can answer my questions)

[@Treys123Girl]

I get my root canal tomorrow and to be honest I don't know how I should feel. I'm just a little nervous my mom keeps telling me it doesn't hurt , then some people say the after pain is the worst. I just hope everything goes well and I don't feel any pain during the procedure... I'll let you guys know tomorrow .

[@samanthabrady7961]

Don't be nervous. I had a root canal done today and it wasn't bad at all. My worst fear is the numbing and i told my dentist and for my comfort, he put numbing gel over the area first, then he put two drops of the numbing shot in my slightly numb gums. After that he put the rest in and I barely felt a thing. And if you are worried about after pain, take some Advil while you are still numb so if there is any pain, you won't feel it. Good luck!

[@Treys123Girl]

So ! Today was the big day but shockingly I didn't get my root canal. My dentist suggested we do a indirect pulp cap due to me being so young. I'm 16 ( I would say it's like a pre root canal) but luckily I didn't feel a thing. The local anesthetic he gave me were WONDERFUL and the after pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My advice for after pain would to just take something as soon as you feel the numbness going away. Other than that everything went well.

[@kiyomi133]

I got or when I was 10. It was fun to me lol

[@TheMotorman1981]

Lol. The end of this video makes your mind think there is a high chance of things going wrong. I literally JUST got home from a root canal and I felt next to nothing the whole time. Getting my wisdom teeth out was at least a million times worse than this. (Mine had to be cut out though. They were horizontally impacted). No need to worry, good luck!

[@danielfloyd.]

I was just told by my dentist that I need a root canal when I thought it was going to be a simple filling. Im so scared and nervous after watching this video. Thankfully I have no infection but I should do it asap before one develops. Im terrified about the anesthesia. I HATE needles.

[@lovellmills7959]

[@catsaway1]

Had a root canal 3 weeks ago tooth very sensitive still what can be the problem.

[@googhosty]

Why couldn't they just put you to sleep for something like this? Especially if you're freaking out over it?

[@rahrahrari3064]

Vinnymations because they need you to open your mouth

[@googhosty]

Parthi Singh that is true.

[@catalinn7092]

because general anesthesia may have various complications, is not recommended to have a lot of them during your lifetime as it poses brain and other functions threat and should only be done in cases where local anesthesia would not be effective, every person reacts differently and doctors will avoid putting you to sleep for minor interventions

[@hodzal5258]

cannabisRenegade if a root canal starts to form can you avoid the treatment by flossing alot and such or is it too late cause my dentist said it's a maybe

[@CovetAmory]

hoda ahmad if your dentist said its a maybe then nothing can stop it. Flossing is great but wont stop a root from dying which then gets infected and creates an abscess. If it gets to that point you need antibiotics. Youll feel pressure maybe pain and if you let it go it will infect the bone and become septic. That will cause blood infection and death. Death. Go get an xray and cold cotton test in one month to check on the root. Watch out for pressure and puss. Root canals are easy to sit thru. Easier than a two surface filling. Thirty secs of drilling and the rest is quiet and the whole thing is pain free. The next day youll feel a bit sore because of holding your jaw open and stuff but thats normal. Take care and let me know how it goes. I used to be terrified of dentistry cos of a bad dentist when i got my first cavity at age 29. I skipped the dentist for some time but then a filling cracked and i needed a root canal so i got over my fear with a better dentist. I like the dentist now cuz he listens to me and checks that Im very numb and comfortable.

[@elinajafarmadar5653]

The reason people say the pain is terrible is because A lot of the time people get the root canal done while there's a killer infection. I am currently 18 and the first time I got one done I was 12 and it was one of the most dreadful experiences I have had. Little did I know the procedure was done while I was in intense pain from the inflammation in the tooth. Last week I started to have intense pain. I had a tooth that was very sensitive and the cavity went to deep. I went in while crying and I was told I need a root canal. In that moment I flipped out cuz he wanted to do it right then and there while I was in pain. The nurse came and quietly told my dad that I should first take some antibiotics to calm down the infection and come back next week. The first two days in taking the antibiotics I was still in pain But with some pain medication I held it. The day I was to get the root canal i could only think about how painful it was going to be because of my previous experience with it. HERE IT IS: NO PAIN. I was one of the best dental moments I have had and I felt nothing while it was being done. He first numbed through the left and right side of my gums and then worked till the end. I was so satisfied and this is one day later and I haven't felt anything yet. Don't be afraid to know your options a lot of times dentists won't tell you you can take antibiotics (like my previous doctor who did the first root canal).

[@MadMetalShop]

infections can be a real biotch! I've had 3 canals done one of them was infected. oh boy that was the only one that had me out of the chair lol 😄

[@adorableaaliyah7004]

MadMetalManiac74 you must be strong cause i couldnt have done it! fuck that it was too painful...so i took the antibiotics first :)

[@MadMetalShop]

Aaliyah E​​ I had been on them for about two weeks prior and it still didn't complelty clear the infection. One thing I always opt for is having an additional shot right in the cannal. I ask my dentist eyerytime now as soon as he can see the cannals to just go ahead and give me and extra shot in the cannals for insurance. It might hurt for a very split second but it's MUCH better than having your dentist start digging away to end up in excruciating pain. Thats if you weren't at all numb to begin with. It can vary. Then you'll possibly have to have that shot anyways so I just get it done and over with from the start.

[@Dragonesa41083]

I had this done two years ago, they don't remove the nerve, they kill the nerve so that it doesn't hurt you anymore. The only thing that hurt was when they have to numb you. I still felt everything else but it didn't hurt. Root canals happen for different reasons. For mine it showed up 11 years later due to traumatizing the nerve 11 years earlier at an incident. Its all good now though.

[@MadMetalShop]

it's not bad really. just time consuming. it sounds bad but I always opt for an additional shot right in the canal once they get in there. that way there's no risk of feeling any pain. typically you shouldn't anyways if there's no bad infection. good luck. 3 myself.

[@royfranco1866]

I've just gone through the second of three root canal sessions....it did hurt as one of the canals would not respond completely to the Novocain. It was intense but for only a few secs...but it is not a completely painless procedure for all. Helps to be completely relaxed! Ciao!

[@Bob23973]

From my experience yesterday without anesthetic: The pain from medication injected into the very bottom of the tooth (bottom of root canal) > The pain from drilling through nerve (through the root canals - my tooth had 3 holes, so 3x drilling). - The drilling pain is durable. - But once i got that medication injected, to disinfect the possible leftover debris and other bacteria...and pushed/compressed it down to the very bottom (well it was the upper tooth_)...that pain is equal/identical to the strong tooth-pain, the one that prevents you from sleeping at nights. The common painkillers help with that though, and she (the dentist) said the pain should last for about a day or 2 and then it should be fine. Hopefully :)

[@mparthur144]

Suffered a toothache two months ago. Nightmare. Ibuprofen helps. no sugar for the rest of my life.

[@erikjones776]

Other than the pricks of the needle and the occasional discomfort of holding one’s mouth open for a long time, a root canal is not bad. I had one today and all I felt was a little sensitivity in spots during the procedure. That was it, no pain, so go ahead, get one👍😊

[@jillscott3230]

I had terrible toothache, affecting my entire right jaw. The pain was excruiating. By the time I went to the dentist, an abscess had already formed. The dentist then drilled out all the pulp and the roots, filled my tooth up with antibiotics and put in a temporary filling. I went back today and they removed the temporary filling. The worst part of the entire procedure was the injection and even that just felt like a tiny prick. Not once did I really feel any pain. Maybe just some pressure from all the drilling. In fact the corner of my mouth actually hurt the most as it split from having my jaw open for so long. They again filled all the canals today and put on a temporary filling. On Monday, they will put in a final filling. I didnt even realise i was having root canal, it was only afterwards when i asked the dentist what the procedure was. Glad I didnt know. If i had watched this video - I would have been seriously scared and nervous. However there is nothing to be worried about. Once you have the injection - everything is numb. I am just experiencing slight discomfort now but the dentist did tell me that was normal. Good Luck to all of those of you having root canal.

[@HemmiHedman]

My story is kind of like yours. Except my temporary filling hasn't been taken away yet and it's the left side that hurts. This probably the worst pain I've ever experienced. Every second is my left side being in a terrible pain. Sleeping is so hard, I had less than 5 hours of sleep last night. I just wish I could get the treatment done today.

[@saralorelei1799]

I got a root canal today (I'm 12 years old and the cavity had been left untreated for a rather long time). If you're getting a root canal for the first time and were wondering, no, it does not hurt as long as you are numbed properly. It's the aftermath that hurts the most, or after the medicine wears off. I WAS LITERALLY SCREAMING IN THE CAR, but take a few pain relievers and you'll be fine.

[@adorableaaliyah7004]

Don't Panic No Not Yet yes!!! it hurts like hell! when your tooth is infected and the root canal procedure is done!! i was bawling like a baby! i had to take antibiotics before doing the procedure again cause the dentist couldnt finish it. It was too painful :'(

[@nolzanderson]

Yeah my pulp/nerve was infected and it hurt a little with novicain

[@Charlotte-dc1xo]

Just found out today I need 2 root canals on my two upper front teeth, after a week of unbearable pain in one of them. Oragel, ibuprofen and tylenol, and peroxide rinses and I still feel it. I've woken up once or twice every single night the second it would all wear off. I can't smile, or laugh, or wiggle my nose or touch my cheek without pain. God forbid eat. I'm on antibiotics, and this is the first day I haven't really NEEDED to take any pain meds.. but it still hurts bad enough. I'm READY. The first part of my surgery is the 20th. It can't be any worse than my wisdom teeth experience, so I'm not even scared.

[@iheartmarkipliergame]

I just got one two days ago. I was surprised at how painless it was

[@melanieforevermore8075]

For you they put this big ass needle in my teeth and I dint even num me all

[@iheartmarkipliergame]

+Melanie forevermore Yikes.That's what I was afraid of :/

[@WTFDontWorry]

how did it go? i might have to get mine done

[@bakirev]

The only pain I felt was from the injection and sometimes he would hit the gums with some tools (this has nothing to do with the root canal, he was also rebuilding a tooth).

[@VampireLover24680]

How painful is this process like in general? And how long to perform the procedure and how long for it to, I guess, heal?

[@karenordorica7443]

I get mine done this Thursday & from this video I am already feeling scared and not wanting to do it but if I dont do it then I can loose my tooth & I dont want that :(

[@bettycalixtro8536]

How did it go Karen?

[@KNME-]

Had one today. Didn't hurt one bit even after a few hours. Although I need to come back for another session after 2 weeks.

[@heavnli_goddess6052]

I had a root canal yesterday and it wasn't' painful at all. I had a good dentist that took her time and numbed me up very well. She applied a topical gel on my gums then gave me the anesthesia so I hardly felt any pain. Afterwards I took Ibuprofen to help with the swelling and mouth stress. That's it. Do thorough research to find a good dental office Don't be afraid people!! :)

[@rainardnavasartian4904]

+JBK963 i have one friday :) good luck with urs

[@heavnli_goddess6052]

Good luck with your procedures!

[@heavnli_goddess6052]

***** Awesome!! Glad you had a good experience. The dentist makes all the difference in the world. Thats why it's important to do research. Glad it worked out for you :)

[@TheMotorman1981]

thanks for sharing your experience...I feel confident after hearing from you..

[@discomarly]

Just had my root canal done 5 min ago anyone that worry s like I was for like 2 months waiting for appointment shouldn't worry because you don't feel a thing but did take 2 hours to complete

[@nug2408]

Im getting one done tommorw omg im so scared does it hurt????

[@nug2408]

I hope im sooo nervous :(

[@ashleydubblestein2768]

+JakoShak I had one done back in April and I was having really bad Anxiety, crying saying I wanted to go home so the dentist offered to put me on laughing gas and it was the best thing they did, I also obviously had freezing. Either way if you get laughing gas or anesthesia you will be fine and feel nothing. I was so relieved after I had it done no more pain at all and for the whole hour and a half I was there felt like 10 minutes. It might be different for you depending on circumstances but from my experience you have nothing to be worried about (:

[@nug2408]

Thanks i just had it done felt nothing but i feel something like im uncormftable and it kinda bothers me rn

[@miguelcortes9494]

It will hurt fersure if you have an infection

[@highvoltage1393]

I had an infection and was given root canal it was done in the span of 45 minutes and didnt hurt best thing they could've did now im going to get another root canal on monday and if your tooth was that sore you wouldnt care about the pain of the the treatment

[@ginadonaldson1123]

I had root canal last year. It was the worst experience of my life. I had a front tooth with a filling that had became infected. It started with toothache in school that the school nurses wouldn't help at all with. That went to a small abscess, that within a day covered half of my face with swelling and threatened to make me blind. I had emergency root canal and because of where the abscess was the needles felt like white hot rods going up from my gum to my nose. Because of the severity, in my multiple visits I had in total 14 of the injections in a few days. The procedure was fine, but the rest scarred me for life. Have a normal 2 fillings at the end of the month planned . 😅😰

[@iisupergirlii7049]

I just got a root canal and I'm only 12, it doesn't hurt..the only part that hurt was when they gave me the needle and that's it. I didn't even take laughing gas and I was fine!

[@sggamer8334]

IISuperGirlII Oh they offered you laughing gas on top of freezing? I wish my dentist did that. Only freezing for us here now a days or get knocked out lol. But that is like 250 dollars extra and it's not covered.

[@lizyrivas6086]

I got mine done. It didn’t hurt at all. I think it depends on your dentist. You do feel a little pressure on it. But no pain for me at at least, when you get procedures done like this, it shouldn’t hurt.

[@nagmanoor5709]

had it today.. zero pain! trust me

[@raskolnikovrodia1404]

At minute 5:00 the "good" root canal filling is bad one, is either silver points (totally outdated) or painted in "paint". Guttapercha does not look like that.

[@aryanshikumar]

After seeing the comments I ws scared to death.. but I had my first sitting today and it doesn't hurt at all!!! The injection of anesthesia feels like an ant biting u, and when hes takin the nerve out it doesn't hurt AT ALL... TRUST ME. my dentist was really nice... he said if u wnt me to stop at anytime raise ur hand. I didn't even hav to raise it once.... so, chill ppl, it gonna b fine :3

[@pureislam1]

[@sonyamcintyre6692]

I've been putting it off too but the infection caused my face to swell so I can't put it off any longer, I'm really scared :(

Have gotten two it doesn't hurt.. The after pain hurts a bit and you'll only be able to eat on one side for a week but you'll be fine

[@priscillagarten8080]

Going tomorrow at 1 pm. Getting a root canal. Dentist said 2 hours What if I have to pee? 4/1/19

[@ShadyEnigma]

I got mine done a week ago, it wasn’t so bad

[@priscillagarten8080]

Is it true that you have to come back in a week to put the permanent crown on??

[@ShadyEnigma]

Priscilla Garten yeah a week or two, I still have my temporary crown, I’m supposed to get a call from them to go get my permanent crown placed, it doesn’t hurt though

[@TheAmberkay3287]

I had to pee. Lol. My dentist is very observant. She noticed I was starting to get uncomfortable (I was going to try to hold it). She asked if i was in pain but I shook my head no, but tried to tell her I needed to pee. I couldn't talk so I grabbed my phone and typed restroom. She giggled and said sure. Threw some gauze in to prevent salvia from touching my tooth and let me up. No issue. The whole procedure took about 3-4 hours because I also had a cavity filled next to it.

[@jessicasanchez-cd3bl]

just got this done didn't feel a thing ! anesthesia is your best friend

[@AndyAndy-wi7gs]

With all the errors you've just told us I think your going to end up putting people off root canal... :-/

[@Tgogators]

The pain of the procedure its self is not so bad, just the before and after period. Last time, the infection was pretty high up, I was on mixed (prescript strength) ibuprofen and hydrocodone- relived pain for about 2 hours. It was bad, point of waking up for pain bad.

the scariest!

[@keirakeeshig1252]

I just got it done in the dentist right now I am 12 years old and it didn't hurt as bad as people told me all that hurt was the needle that numbs it for all you people that are getting it done there's nothing to be afraid of.

[@rosataylor7147]

I chose to get mine pulled

[@fadelkent5491]

Rosa Taylor but lose ur teeth then, its a tough decision aight

[@shanidavis1577]

Rosa Taylor they told me I’m too young🥴and I’m 14🤔.

[@monicaz4054]

SRM Squad SAME, i went today and they said i can’t get mine pulled out cuz im 13 and to young 🥴

[@neilwattoo]

Why the heck would any one choose to get their tooth pulled over a root canal? I've had both done, many root canals and 1 tooth pulled I didn't need (very back left top molar), and the tooth that got pulled bled like a gusher for 18 hours straight, and maybe 3 days total. To this day my gum there never fully healed up, but close enough. Anyone that wants a tooth pulled and then get an implant is CRAZY imo. Who wants a metal tooth IMPLANTED in their gum? That can cause major issues anytime down the road. And implants are like $4K vs like $1.5K for a r.c. Keep your teeth kids, and adults. Get the root canal if it's a choice.

[@neilwattoo]

And some of you say you are too young to get pulled? You're never too young, if it's necessary. You get an abcess and you are in big shit! But a dentist willing to hold off and give different options is prob a good dentist to have. A lot of dentists are money hungry assholes, and they will rip your teeth apart for all the $ they can. Choose wisely, and ALWAYS get a second opinion. Just like with anything.

[@lg4433]

I'm 15 and I just got this today let me tell youse you don't need to worry it's honestly not as bad as it looks in this video

[@ForHeShallSave]

Guess my dentist was just terrible then. My dentist pressed this tool on my nerve, or what felt like it, it felt like I'd literally been struck by lightening and my body, by reflex, flung itself out of the chair. It was a reaction to immense and SEVERE pain, the dentist looked frustrated at me for something SHE had done. I've never gone back and now fear the dentist to the EXTREME. It was that painful. Be careful that you're numbed properly because if you're not it fucking REALLY HURTS.

[@tommytucker5464]

Harden up lol

[@ForHeShallSave]

Tommy Tucker You can't harden a nerve. Have you ever taken skin from your hand in an accident and then ran it accidentally under hot water? It hurts the way it does because the nerves are closer to the surface than they should be. In a tooth it's a naked nerve, exposed. So if anything, and I mean anything, touches it, even wind, it's magnified by 1000*. Now imagine someone prodding that with a sharp stick.... Believe me, its hurts! I've crushed my hand, had a slipped disc and dislocated my shoulder, NONE of those comes close to the level of pain of that one second. It's what I'd describe as pure pain.

[@rmpbklyn6063]

the dentist i go to knows I NEED plenty of shots, the more the better. I raise my hand or flinch , they add more. find another dentist, I had to . took years to find a good dentists,

[@shahidkapoor9566]

I had my done without getting numbed.It was so very painful when he drilled into my teeth

[@Daltek.]

had it same here and she didn't use any anesthesia so i really understand how u feel brother, i've told my new dentist about it and she was like dfuq , im going tomorrow for making an appointment i don't look forward to it but i have to fix it so lets hope it will be better then last time xD

[@DJeimaXe]

I didn't feel a thing until the anesthesia had started to wear off in the middle of the operation. All 4 of my root canal is completed; when the anesthesia had completely gone worn off; there was absolutely no pain-after affect, but I am still being put on antibiotics.

[@shriyaketkar8356]

Who says it doesn't hurt?All that numbing stuff numbed everything except the tooth!Hurt like a bitch!

[@interstategar]

+Shriya Ketkar Than the dentist does't know what he doing. You probably just needed more novacaine. You have speak up. You have to tell the dentist you need more numbing. He will do it. He doesn't want you as a patient moving around in pain while he trying to work. They will gladly give you more numbing.

[@truthseek3017]

If your tooth is infected get it EXTRACTED, it is near impossible to remove all bacteria with root canal. Your health is at risk if you get a root canal, do your research.

[@truthseek3017]

***** I recommend getting a second opinion from a holistic dentist, he/she should provide you with the safest, longest lasting solution to your problem. If your tooth is loose and pretty painful, then it may be too far gone and need extracted.

[@duckduck2633]

You watched that crazy lady who probably has health issues talk about how bad root canals are did you?

[@truthseek3017]

@@duckduck2633 Look up the failure rate of root canals, it is a billion dollar industry, they want to keep you coming back.

[@truthseek3017]

@AllFather Odin Huh? A holistic dentist will usually give better advice on what to do about your tooth, that is what i meant, but if the tooth is dying it should be extracted. Alot of dentists will let profits guide their decisions, not what is best for the patient...

+Kaylee Kantelis hi I've am actually going for RCT right now the first time I went I didn't experience any pain after the surgery .. but after the second time (recently) I'm experiencing some very heavy pain ... I went to the dentist she said that it's common but to be honest I didn't feel any pain at all during surgery ..I hope that helps

[@kayleekantelis8499]

+Mark Mazelon yes that helps! Second time must be not fun!

[@SiriusBlack1998]

Well it took a hour and a half I wanted to use the gas but insurance didn't cover so I got I believe it was 4 shots to the mouth one at roof of mouth everything went fine no pain at all during and after just no pain all together and afterwards my mom got a real kick out of of it when she told me to smile my my left side would smile and my right side pretty much just sagged I was even able to eat after the root canal since the dentist place was near red lobster so my point is it was complety painless and the numbness wore of in like 4 hours.

[@datjittrey_2336]

+Mark Mazelon Im going next Thursday hopefully I feel nothing

[@oddsholygrail1639]

Had my first ever one recently. Don't worry about it, its just kindov invasive around the mouth but its fine. Quite a long procedure tho, at the end you will start to feel alittle discomfort and/or mild pain which will last for a day or so, or it did for me at least.
