Do route canals hurt as bad as they say?
 

Just found out I have a ****ing cavity. I've never had one before and my gf is trying to tell me they hurt like a bitch when they fix it (I think she's agging me on).

Any advice? Laughing gas or just take the needle to numb the pain?

Oh, I hate going to the dentist too. That really can't help.

No. Barely felt anything but pressure the entire time.

suck it up

Route canals can be dealt with, Routt canals cost almost 10 million bucks and leave you without a starting corner.

Stay away from barge routes and you shouldn't get hurt.

Jesus...

It's a cavity, not a root canal.

The dentist is going to drill and fill for three minutes and be done with it.

Quit being a ****ing pussy.

I had all four wisdom teeth out at once, threw the Motrin the Army dentist gave me in the trash and went out for steak and vodka that night.

Are you serious? A single ****ing cavity? And it's depositing sand granules in your vag?

COME AFTER ME - I'M A MAN - I'M 40

Cavities are not root canals. That being said, root canals don't hurt at all because they yank the nerve out.

No more painful than watching the Chiefs...

Only if Scott Pioli is your dentist.

First of all, a "cavity" requires a FILLING, not a root canal.

And second, dental technology has come a LONG way. I've had 2 root canals done in the last 3 years and they don't hurt at all.

Dude, do you still have both testicles?

I just had one two weeks ago. My second. Tell the Dentist not to give you that shot for numbing the tooth ,it causes cancer.

And impotence.

The shots they give you are more unpleasant than the actual root canal.

Novacaine causes cancer?

YES! Still dealing with one that was "started" 30 days ago, could be the older dentist that should have retired years ago!

Yes. And impotence.

ROFL

Yep. If you don't believe it ask anybody with cancer if they've ever had a shot of novocaine.

ROFL

this

Truth.

Only if this guy does it.

First off, we don't use Novocaine. Haven't used that since the early 1980's. We now use Articaine which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 times as potent as an anesthetic as Novocaine. I've probably performed over 2000 root canals in my 20 years of practice, and have had maybe 10 people that had trouble getting numb. Those people were all severely abscessed (swollen) when we did it as well. Root canals are easy as pie, just let the dentist know that you'd rather be number than not. You may be numb for 5 hours, but you wont feel shit.

I've had two, and this is pretty much my story. And, even though you won't feel shit for a few hours after you're done, follow the dentist's orders and go ahead and take some Advil before the numbness wears off.

ROOT canals aren't that bad but only had one. And 3 cavities for that matter.

My last one I had to had a "tap" in my jawbone, below the tooth. But the procedure itself was simple and painless.

OK, that's nice but he asked about a ROUTE canal (whatever the F that is).

Isn't there one of those crossing Panama?

ROOT CANALS AINT SHIT

(Gum surgery, on the other hand...)

Okay ha. How much does it cost to have this shit done?
Btw I might have 2 and I have insurance.

So like $120 per cavity?

It doesn't hurt nearly as bad as extraction, it's not a big deal really. Oh and $120 for a route canal? is this the neighbor with a pair of pliars?

Not at all. I had a filling that hurt like shit because the numbing stuff didn't kick in and the dentist started drilling. That hurt.

Damn Dentists. Can't trust 'em.

Call your dentist office and find out...

Holy shit.

like a million dollars

Routt canals suck

Dentists are a bunch of sham artists. Do it yourself with a dremmel tool and some whiskey

Damn dentists have boat payments to make. Pay what they say.

Routt canal cost me around $900 and then another $900 for the crown.

you put your dentists three kids through college. (at least thats what my patients say when they have to drop a grand)

That's about right. It's those 6 mil Routt canals that really gripe me.

What most people don't know about dentists is that they never work on patients in school. The first live experience is when they open the doors of the practice. That's why I never go the Dentist.

...only if you performed a Carr canal the prior year and you have no other option

That's not true. Our school of dentistry does perform work on actual patients and hospital employees at highly discounted rates.

Root canals don't hurt. Just the shot before stings a bit. No biggie.

That's what UMKC wants you to think.

I'm in Mississippi and I can tell you that what I said is true (I work for UMMC). I had a cleaning done there about a year ago.

Ever hear of sarcasm? Dude , I'm a Dentist.

Please explain why a route canal costs so damn much !

WHY ARE DENTISTS SO EVIL AND THEY STAB YOU AND ROB YOU DENTISTS ARE BAD PEOPLE AND THEY SMELL LIKE CHEESE

Didnt pick up on your sarcasm - this is actually the first time I have paid any attention to you.
But yes, I'm quite familiar and very skilled in sarcasm.

I hope you have a great day.

I am easy to ignore. Have a wonderful day. Was not trying to be a cassh*le

See above posts. Boat payments, hookers, blow, etc..............

I am actually a poop scooper at the KC Zoo.

Oh. Well replace everything I said about dentists and make it about poop scoopers.

lol Got it. And thanks.
