Root canals.....

I am proud to say that I still have all my teeth, and considered to be lucky enough to have perfect teeth. Well, I think it depends on the genes and the way we take care of our teeth, but mostly with genes. The only thing I have gone to the dentist is for cleaning/fluoride and check-up. Don't worry, all the people I know think they couldn't take the pain of having a tooth extracted but are still very well alive to this date. *LOL* You will too. =)

Luckily I have all of my teeth. I think I would rather wrestle a gorilla than have a root canal... that's just me though. :)

I had to have a couple of my back teeth taken out . I have never had a root canal done and don't believe I could go through the pain of this if I had to . I have had my teeth pulled when they start to bother me . I have a huge fear of losing all my teeth but at the same time a root canal cost so much money at one shot that would be hard for me to come up with and comes with a lot of pain and I would have to consider this quite a bit before I could decide weather or not I could go through with it :)

I have only a few teeth left from the entire set. Too bad for me because, I have never adjusted to using false teeth. I have already had two sets fitted. When I found the first ones to be too uncomfortable for use, I had a new set done. It was more expensive since they have to use metals which can be wielded thinly. Still they are never that comfortable enough for me. I am forced to use the set for the front teeth replacements. I will look too bad without it. Don't be scared therefore to get that root canal. Undertake it before it is too late. You might start regretting about not having taken all the steps to save those teeth in no time at all. Root canals are not painful. The dentist have all the gadgets and anaesthetics to use whenever they perform root canals. I have been through it before already. So take my word for it. Go now and have it done.

I still have my complete teeth and they are all good. My parents taught us at the very early age to take care of our teeth and they made sure that we don't have one rotten teeth. I am also afraid of having a root canal if ever but I hope I won't ever experience such. I don't even know how a tootache feels.

Well, you still have 3 molars. I had one taken out too and my dentist gave the alternatives too. I am not sure how true it is but he suggested that there is no need to spend additional to do the root canal. There are some infection risk involved other than pain. I am still eating fine without the molar :P
