Another root canal

[toys2cool]

Isn't that because people in Arkansas only have two teeth on average?

LMAO!! that was hilarious bro,I'm still cracking up

I'm afraid I will be walking the same path. My back molar which already had a root canal is acting up. I can't really chew anything hard on that side. I'm not looking forward to it and it looks like I have no choice. I'm afraid to see the bill since insurance won't cover it since I just got a root canal on just last year.

I feel your pain both physically and financially,I have had two root canals myself.
Never any fun at all.I skipped out on the crowns though.I think thats just a bunch of
Sh!$.I had one root canal seven years ago no crown still doing good.The second was two years ago.They told me the same thing get a crown within six months to a year or we will be pulling it.Blah,blah blah....I needs my money more than they do.I'm tired of making payments on his Bentley while I'm driving a Caravan!!!

It was an abcessed eyetooth that made understand why it's called that- HOLY CRAP! The facial nerves connected to it made me cry off and on, on that side, right up to my eye, until root canal#3. I feel your pain!!!!!

My wife is a Dental Hygienist and it's true that some people just genetically have better teeth than others.

I laugh at my wife because her oral hygiene habits are horrendous considering her profession....she only brushes once a day and hardly ever flosses but never has cavities or anything.

I'm going in for a cleaning tomorrow. I have a few crowns and those were due to some deep fillings I had when I was younger that had worn and cracked over the years but not a root canal...knock on wood.

I know they are expensive treatments...luckily I get all of my dental work for free or whatever my insurance will cover. My son just recently got braces and it didn't cost us a dime...the orthodontist did it as a professional courtesy for my wife.

But back to crowns. I really wouldn't wait on them personally even if I were paying for them. They grind your tooth down but the bone tissue is still connected to your jaw. What you don't want to have happen is to have further decay occur on what's left of the tooth which will eventually lead to having it pulled. A crown, if done properly, will protect what's left of your tooth and prevent further decay.

Just have em all pulled and eat pudding and mashed potatoes from now on. Hmmm pudding!! Hope your feeling better. Maybe santa will bring you some money for Christmas. Hmmm money!! Always the right size and color. Never had to return it. It's the perfect gift. I have had the last three pulled because they were all back teeth and never had an issue since. The only one's I've had root canals on were the front ones. Now go take some pain pills and relax.

I had a tooth crack and go bad on me this past fall, I had it yanked the Friday before Thanksgiving. The pain was something I've never quite experienced and hope to never again.

It gives me pause to think just how people my own age had suffered through their late 20's and early 30's in the "olden days". What a hideous life!

I think I can attribute my own dental work to the amount of Kool-Aid I drank as a kid. I used to drink that stuff like water.

Fortunately, I haven't had many cavities as an adult since I no longer drink this fine nectar of the Gods.
