Man, I had a DOUBLE root canal and didn't get any pain meds. You're one lucky bastard, UB.

Ahhh root canals. You've got my sympathy UB. I had 2 done last year. Ugh. The worst part? The little rubber damn they had around the tooth to keep the crap fromgoing down your gullet had a leak. Guess what they use to flush out the tooth? Household fucking Clorax Bleach. It was dripping down my throat and I'm trying to tell the doctor to stop and well anyhow...you have my sympathies. Don't suck too much dick until that thing completly heals.

I've had two done. Didn't want to tell you about the throbbing part of the whole thing. I ended up going back for more novacaine when I could feel again. But the smelly part was probably when they cauterized the roots. I had SMOKE coming out of my mouth then!!! Fun fun fun! Oh yeah, then I had to go back and they had to cut into my gums because they didn't "kill" the roots enough. Yeah! Well, see, it wasn't so bad!!!! hee hee hee

If you come my way we say "Bah" as a typical sentence filler here, it is quite fun. Did you hear that Sunday was "Talk like a Pirate day?" Oh the things you learn from 1010wins. So I am glad you and yours are in one piece from the storm. How much do I have to pay you to DJ my wedding next year, seriously I will fly you up here and give you wonderful cuban food at the reception. The restaurant is http://www.hottomatos.net/bamboleo/bamboindex.htm Check it out CT isn't that far! Plus it could be a mini vaca for your family, check out scenic new enlgand for the weekend or something during fall. Email my UB!

I don't think that it's right they just threw you in the chair and ripped the tooth out, especially since you had to tell him what tooth it was! And how the hell did you drive home? My mom was drooling in the car and speaking Tooth Talk. You amaze me UB

This spring I had a broken tooth too but it was so bad they had to pull the whole thing...in pieces and now I'm in the middle of getting an implant. otherwise known as the $2000 tooth. For any comfort, you are NOT alone!!!

My ex-housemate had a root canal done by a third-year dental student with no anaesthetic. An experience which included being told to close his mouth while there were still little pins in his gums which got driven in deeper by his closing mouth. My ex-housemate is a nutcase in certain ways.

I can sympathise, I had to have a baby tooth pulled out a few months ago and I wasn't expecting it to happen that day... not to mention I have a phobia of needles and the dentist pulled out a massive one, and a pair of pliers. Scared the shit out of me. Then I had to spend the next hour with a clump of cotton wool in my mouth to stop the bleeding.

I'm reminded of the Seinfeild episode when jerry wakes up from the Dentist's anthsteia (Sp?) and finds his shirt untucked. UB was your shirt untucked?

Kari - 2004-09-21 11:28:23
Whatever they gave me after my root canal was kick ass! It was some kind of morphine derivitive. [shrug] Maybe the "girls" came in handy for once... Heh.

you big pussy - I have had 13 root canals, be a man, and don't forget to floss and brush your teeth!

Tuffy the Tooth, bitch!! - 2004-09-21 14:00:09
I have had two root canals in my life and I learned a valuable lesson that I hope I never get to rely upon again: A dentist who has time to do a complicated procedure "right now" doesn't have enough customers and there is probably a reason for that. The first time I had to wait two weeks even though I had a broken front tooth. The second time we did it right on the spot. The second one hurt a lot worse, and was a surprise too becuase the first one wasn't that bad. Dentists you have to wait a month to see are a pain in the ass, but they are NOT a pain in the mouth. And why does evey doctor try to give me anitidepressants but I can't get pain medication if I have a rare form of cancer that breaks my leg every other day? Mother-fornicator!

man, consider yourself lucky. My root canal constisted of like 4 visits. Each visit was a living nightmare.

Here's what I don't understand, they can remove your heart, replace your spleen and give you a bionic gall bladder all with minimal pain, and no recollection of the experience. Why is it that when it comes to dentistry someone decided that general anesthesia was entirely overrated?

I fully admit to being a pain wuss. If I ever need a root canal they better knock my ass out for a week, cause otherwise I'm coming back at the Dentist with a two-by-four. Further illuminating why God in his wisdom gave the gift of child-birthing to the female of the species. He tried it with males but the species died out after the first dude developed enough language to tell all the other dudes how painful it was. (the real reason Cro-magnon man became extinct)

Ok, I don't usually try to one-up anyone, but I have to this time. Try having out all 13 of your top teeth. With 8 needles of novacain. At 17. At 7 1/2 months pregnant. Yup. Bitchin pain!

Lori - 2004-09-21 16:55:21
Geez, you would have thought you had just given birth. Now THAT'S pain. Men are such babies.

Nephew Robert - 2004-09-21 18:15:18
My dentist ... bless his white jacket heart ... gives me gas to even CLEAN my teeth. Maybe I'm just a bad patient, but I always ask for a six-pack of that shit to go. Loves it.
-------------------------------
Nephew Robert - 2004-09-21 18:16:52
By the way, Unck ... Why does your dentist think you're gay? Hhhhhhmmmm...

erin - 2004-09-21 19:15:29
At least he finished it in one round. My goddamned satanic fuck of a dentist took THREE appointments to finish my root canal.
-------------------------------
grassyknoll - 2004-09-21 19:19:45
Dentists suck. The last tooth he worked on didn't have a root canal, but it did hurt like bloody hell. He must've used three gallons of novocaine and although my entire face and neck were numb, my tooth wasn't. But he refused to believe me and worked on it anyway, bah'ing it as "all in my head". Fucker.
-------------------------------
warcrygirl - 2004-09-21 19:53:18
Grassyknoll I'm the same way. I had a filling done about 15 years ago and everytime he packed it in I about jumped out of my skin. That nerve was raw! A spinal didn't kill all the sensation or pain during both of my c-sections so if I ever need major dental surgery I am DEMANDING they put me under or it isn't happening. UB, this entry made me laugh out loud the entire time I read it. Yes, I am being entertained at your expense...

I had two root canals and oral surgery to remove half the root from my front tooth. When I was 10. And, because that wasn't enough dental misery, I got my wisdom teeth pulled and had braces, then let some psycho break both of my jaws, reset them, and wire me shut for 10 days. Ten whole days of nothing but milkshakes and smoothies followed by two weeks of soft food. That was four years ago. I still can't drink milkshakes or smoothies. So basically, I feel your pain, Uncle Bob.

Squeakster - 2004-09-21 21:51:09
My root canals were all painless and uneventful except for the first. I was starving upon leaving the dentist office and stopped at Ollies' Trolly. I kept wondering what the crunching sound was as I wolfed down an Ollie Burger. Later, after awakening from a nap, I discovered I was chewing my own tongue along with my meal. Novacaine ain't cool.

s-chicka - 2004-09-22 01:46:08
I may not have had any root canals yet (thank God)... but i'm 18, and my wisdom teeth are bringing me unbelieveable pain... and my Goddamned Satanic Fuck cant book me until October for that visit prior to the surgery. AND i have a canker sore on my lip. so... i'm bitter too. my sympathies.

Wow, Nothing like an 80's reference in "Puttin' on the Ritz" For the Record, I hate Dentists. Pain Brokers!

I hate it when it posts my comment twice. Sorry about that UB!

nautile - 2004-09-22 17:07:51
Owwwww, just reading that made my mouth hurt! If someone does that to me some day, I sincerely hope they knock me out. Thankfully, they did just that when I had three wisdom teeth removed, though I was really gassy that day and I suspect I farted multiple times during the operation. The oral surgeon botched it up somehow and I later had to get one of the places cut open again, that time with no novicane or nothing. Oh, God, the pain!

Fox - 2004-09-25 16:29:58
I had one of my teeth pulled because my GFS orthodontist was too lazy to do anything the hard way -- noooo he wanted to have one of my teeth pulled so I could feel unbalanced and hideous the rest of my life... jerk. And, of course, they want to pull all my wisdom teeth but I don't have dental insurance (so as opposed to us paying part of say $1000 we'd have to pay all of over $2000 -- yeah... don't think so). It doesn't bug me and I doubt it will... they just like telling horror stories because they are condescending jerks. So yeah, no oral surgery for me, which is good because I don't want to EVER be rendered in capable of saving my own ass. Call it neurosis. -Fox
