Has anybody had a root canal?
(lemmy.ca)
I just learnt a sore tooth of mine is caused by my tooth root never fully closing (due to getting braces and shifting my teeth around). Now at 30 I need a root canal.
I’ve never even had a cavity before. I’m legit terrified. Teeth are the one thing that are much worse than nails on chalkboard for me.
How was your experience been? Any words of advice or words of encouragement? I could use it :(
As long as its done by a qualified professional with proper anesthesia, you should be fine.
Do consult a professional though, every situation is different, and we're generally not professionals around here.
Solid and sound advice. I’m looking for peoples personal experiences mainly. Saw my dentist and saw the X-rays and heard the explanation and it checks out with some anxious googling I did before. More scared about the procedure and how the tooth feels like afterwards. I guess it’s a fear of change.
