@TheHorse You Americans have not developed any laser surgery technologies to repair teeth without keeping jaws open for such a long time? Shame... you all are getting really lazy..LOL Seriously though... stem cells therapies...I read somewhere long ago that you will get something like chewing gum with stem cells in it...and dentists will become paupers.

Yeah, it was actually painless. The hardest part was that the right side of my jaw got tired after awhile of staying in one position.

@thehorse Just lie back and let the dentist do his thing and focus on being rid of the abscess. It’s your wallet that’ll feel the real pain.

I had an abscess on a tooth when I was younger and had a fortnight off school. They thought I had mumps as my face swelled up. I think that tooth was taken out. But I've had root canal since and nearly went to sleep so don't worry too much. I guess it's all over by now.

Good luck and have fun! I've never had one but my husband has had 2 and he didn't like it. He still had trouble with his tooth after the one, which I didn't think that was supposed to happen. I guess it depends a lot on the dentist that does it. Some people haven't minded it one bit while others have hated it. I'm pretty sure they'll advise you to take it easy for at least the rest of the day after having it done.
