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.

If you’re not sure what the difference is between a root canal and a dental filling, I can’t imagine this possibly ending well.

They are not implying they are the same procedure. But after a root canal, you can’t just leave it open. It needs to be filled. So while you’re trying to be snarky, it actually comes across as you bring the one who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

A root canal procedure requires the drilled cavity to be filled and then a surface filling after the abscess is drained. I think their wording is fine.

You have to completely replace the root of the tooth in a root canal. It’d make more sense just to pull the tooth if you were doing it yourself.

That’s not how root canals work. They drill through the top into the creamy nerve center and then clean out the nerve and replace that with some packing material. The root of the tooth is still there though. I completely agree that pulling would be the way better option however.

joke answer: murica

actual answer: extract lidocane from anal lube and then use it to numb the area, also practice on some pig jaws while using a mirror as you would for the real thing

Bruh. Just get lidocane from the pharmacy, it’s not restricted.

Sure, but extracting the lidocaine from anal lube also isn’t going to cut it.

in some places it’s restricted, and where it’s not you need a prescription from a doctor (which defeats the whole point of doing it yourself)

Why do that when you already have so much anal lube?

Or go to Mexico, got to TJ for a root canal for a third the price and get $75 hookers that you pick from the strippers in the club below the hour rate hotel. You can get a root canal, 4 hookers, a hotel for a few days, and a round trip ticket for the prices of one root canal in the US.
