I’m about to give myself a root canal/filling. I have no dental training. But the pain is more than I can bare.

Ask me anything.

I’m scared guys.

Oh, man… It was… Don’t try a root canal without anesthesia…

I guess that happened because my tooth had an inflammation that prevented the anesthesia to take effect

Happened to me as well. Tooth got infected so bad that OTC painkillers did not work anymore. The anesthesia made the painful area smaller, but could not eliminate it entirely due to the acidity of the infection. Still, it was much better than the pain from the infected tooth.

Go to the dentist folks. And if you are afraid of them, like I was, find a very kind one and get help before the pain forces you to get over the fear.

Also had mine all as a result of infected teeth. Ditto this comment. Very fortunate to be in a place now that I can cover the costs of regular cleanings and check ups.
