I'm pretty sure I need a root canal

i hear they suck but i have a few questions:
do they put you under?
do i need to take time from work?
what is the healing time?

They may have to use one of those rubber-things which completely cover your mouth, except for the tooth they're working on. ...so, hope you are not heavy on the gag reflex.
Aside from that, I don't recall it being much different than getting a filling, except for the length of time which I believe was longer.

You need to stop going to medical professionals that your parents recommend. Just because they are Russian doesn't mean they have credentials!! Dentist is going to tell you "100 grams and borscht."
This! it's wonderful.
I'll keep my perfectly straight, natural white teeth with no fillings, cavities, or dentures...for nowt
Dave, did you sort your root canal?

Good luck!
:( huggles, hopefully if your dentist can't do the work on Wednesday, he can at least give you something to help calm it down, help with the pain until you're back from your business trip.

Root canals, if you need one, aren't generally that bad unless you're infected. Won't hurt more than a regular filling, and as soon as they get the needle in the centre of the tooth you won't feel a thing for the rest of the procedure.
Other than having your mouth frozen, it's unlikely you'd even need to miss any work or whatever other than your appointment time.
that gives me some hope! thanks
I won't tell you my experience cause it was more on the unusual and I ended up losing the tooth
and needing a bridge after the root canal from hell.
I've had two done with two crowns to match.
They did not put me all the way under but game me a halcyon cocktail so I don't remember much about the procedure.
I only missed the afternoons I had them done.
I could eat later that night once the numbness wore off.

Like Rygar said...High fillings throws your bite off and can cause heavy duty radiating pain. I am a dental assistant, and it happens because at the time the filling is done, you are frozen and can't feel how you bite. Your description of the pain sounds like it. I hope that's all it is.
But I went to a new dentist and I think he just wanted more money so he said I needed a root canal on my front tooth. It sucked balls. Not so much pain while doing it, more of an annoyance. But after, FML. I think it got infected. So as long as it's not your front ones it should be a cake walk. Good luck.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
+1 on the getting the crown if you get the RCT
then it had to be pulled ,then had to go through a bridge
the call to save the tooth from the start was wrong...
it should have been pulled but dentists do everything they can to save teeth
as it should be...
but it was a lot to go through
I ended up so frazzled that in deep sleep I began serious uncontrollable chopping down ...
like snap! it would wake JB up.
I could have bite my tongue off... no jokes please
Bad part too ... bridges and crowns only last 10-15 years and time flies.
