Not as bad as people make out, I've had two, not that I proud of them or anything! Didn't cry or anything  Think technology has moved
on making it less painfull..
Did cry when I got the bill though, robbing ba%$%$ worked it out and it was something 150 an hour.
Don't worry...
Cheers

Some people pay good money for the kind of pain your going to endure tomorrow...
Good luck. Youll need it.
Oh, er, i mean, youll be fine, you wont feel a thing.
In all seriousness, try meditation. Put yourself somewhere completely different when its going on. Thats what i do most of the time, and it works
for me!!
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

The bit i hate most is the BILL
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Thanks guys.
Hopefully want be any more painful than the night all started.......Christmas eve . I stayed up all night.....standing...If I was to sit
down......BANG pain like anything I have experience before in my life. I ended up standing all night in the dark against the kitchen wall. What a
night.
Managed to see my dentist few days later but the nerves was too "angry....the dentists word " to do anything and he temporarily filled it.
22 days later I am about to face my worst fear......THE DENTIST.
If I die, my biggest fear is that my wife sells all my toys for the price I told her I bought them for...

Don't panic, once your numb you wont feel a thing, just mind your tongue/lips on the hot sealing implement the waggle about in there
afterwards!
Staring at the assistant/nurse will take your mind off the boredom though

Try having the same tooth done again because the first dentist missed one branch of the root and having to pay for a crown as there is not enough of
the tooth left to fill.
Deep breath.
just over £500 btw
The dental work was pretty painless as the root was already dead. The pain from the secondary infection until the antibiotics cut in was a bitch
though.

Last root canal I had , I did start to worry when the dentist picked up a torch and a canary in a little cage , then tied a rope around his
waist....................
Nah..............nothing to worry about...........says a girl so scared silly of dentists I lose sleep for 2 or 3 nights before a checkup

If you think you have experienced pain in the head lets hope you never experience Trigeminal Neuralgia ( Google it)- I had it three years ago and it
took brain surgery to cure with three days in intensive care, three weeks in hospital and six weeks at home - still musn't grumble, all better
now. Barry

had one done a couple of years ago.
Dentist scare me more that anything else its a real deep routed irational fear that goes back to the dentist I had as a kid doing big filling wih no
injections to numb the tooth . 
1st rule tell the dentist you are bricking it
I did that with my current dentist and he has been brilliant telling me what he is going to do and how much pain / discomfort to expect he even numbs
the gums before the injections with some jelly stuff. Still cacking myself before I go but 100% beter that I used to be.
fingers crossed for a simple pain free root canal job
Taller than your average Guy !

last year I had an absess, the dentist had to drill down the tooth and out the other end and down into my jaw bone.
Didnt feel a thing, but the hot thing is a bit un-nerving.

As a child, I didn't look after my teeth.
I used to be scared of the dentist, note used to be.
Since I've grown up and rationalised it,
I've had root canal, I've had an extraction where the only bit left was the root, I've had a cyst removed which required 5 day
hospitilisation and a maxilofacial surgeon.
Since I become grown up about it, I have accepted that the dentist will do everything to make sure I do not experience pain.
Seriously, the last time I had root canal, I managed to have myself sufficiently calm and believe all of the above that I came within a hair's
breadth of falling asleep in the dentist's chair.
The key is to close your eyes, you don't need to see what thy're doing, so why stress youself by looking. Lie down, close your eyes,
listen to the soothing voice or the radio in my case, because they always have one on in my dentist.
Seriously, there is nothing whatosever to get tense about far less stressed.

IV sedation in the hand y e a h m a a n!
You have to ask, and theres normally at least 1 dentist in the surgery that will do it.
Dont feel a thing, dont remember a thing except maybe saying "kin el" as you float away.
Down side is you feel crap and knackerd for the rest of the day and you have to take a responsible driving adult with you.

I had two done on some remains of front teeth (hockey), and the only time i felt anything was when the freezing wore off. I metabolize the freezing
too quickly, so i think i had something like 3 times the normal amount. But, when its frozen, nothing to worry about.
Still an odd feeling when they hand you a mirror or an x-ray and show you how deep they went.

Had one done not long ago, bit of aching afterwards, but really nothing on the pain the tooth had been causing. Nothing to worry about really.
Especially given the dental nurses around here are all aesthetically pleasing.

I remember getting a tooth smashed in hockey as a kid (before face shields), and there was NO anasthetic that helped while he was grinding away on the
exposed nerve. I thought it hurt til I dropped a floor jack on my big toe a few weeks ago. BRING ON THE DENTIST!

I had two root canals done about 10 years ago and I can safely say it was one of the most agonising things I have ever experienced, and it really put
me off dentists. They both fell out at around 8 years as well. The filling part of one became so loose I pulled it out complete with the long metal
wires that go down the tooth root

Got to agree with that. I had what was probably the worlds biggest filling done by the worst dentist in the world and it was over in a flash and i
almost felt nothing as i was concentrating so hard on a to do list for the locost
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?
