KirkV Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Well I cracked one of my teeth that had a large filling in it, and let me tell ya I knew right away! I took a slug of cold beer and WHAMO pain that lasted 15-20 seconds that would drop a bull in it's tracks lol. Went to the dentist and it was time for my first root canal. Having never had one I was not too thrilled of the idea of filing the nerve out of my tooth as I have had issues in the past getting fully numb for filling work. This guy shot me 3 different places over 15 minutes time, and when he started I was still worried. I felt NOTHING! Praise the lord, absolutly nothing.:toot: Today the back of the jawbone is a little stiff where 2 of the shots went but it was really uneventfull. I am leaving next friday for the carribean for a week and really did not want any issues while out of the country. Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Glad ya got it taken care of! Couple years ago cracked a filling...dentist refilled it. Go back this past spring, tell me I have an abcess there, I never felt anything. Ended up going to a diff. guy for a root canal, didn't feel anything, praise the Lord as well! That was like 3 separate appointments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ouch! Never had the experience of a root canal, heard they can be a real pain. Guess if the dentist is gentle knows what he's doing it'd go pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry hunter Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Enjoy the warm weather Kirk, but remember the beer is still cold down there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Glad it went as well as it could Kirk. Think I have 3 teeth filled, never had anything more than the fillings, aside from orthodonture and teeth pulled as a kid. Hope you and your wife enjoy the trip.
