Damn root canal...


Ja  Rhule

Recommended Posts

I have terrible teeth and I have had numerous root canals.

If it was really infected, it could hurt for a couple days after.

Did they have to cut your gums a lot? If so it could be that your gums are just a little inflamed.

If he is offering to give you free vicodine, then I'd take him up on that offer.

should have had that sumbitch pulled like I did... twice...

This!

When I was told I needed a root canal I asked what all was involved. When I found out what the success rate was I opted for them just pulling the tooth.

Hope you feel better soon!

Some soreness is not unusual several days out.

Still, I would make sure to have a follow up appointment just to be sure everything is healing normally.

Also, don't make the mistake of not doing the final restoration that will cover the root canal treated tooth.

Otherwise, in a few years you will be joining the geniuses in the "just pull it" crowd anyway, minus the money you spent on the RCT.

I had my jaw surgically replaced with a metal plate with sharpened steel teeth. I refused anesthesia, and crammed the prescription for Demerol down the Dr.'s throat. I then ate a bowl of in-shell walnuts, and gnawed on some tungsten steel bars to pass the time. Man up already!

Yes, it can hurt for a day or two... you just had a tooth nerve forcefully removed. Just take the pain pills, you'll be ok. If it gets worse call your Dentist.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
