    I’ve had six root canals. Five were painless except for the Novocain shot. The sixth still gives me nightmares, but the endodontist assured me that molar’s nerve was unusual.

      I grievously wounded a finger in the wood shop and needed a bunch of stitches. My nerves were ‘unusual’ there – super preemie kid too? I remember a fraction of your pain and sorry for that experience.

        The root canal paled in comparison to my periodic kidney stones. Find an endodontist who’ll put you to sleep for the procedure. If I need another, that’s what I’ll do.

      Was it your lower back most molar? If so they lied. They’re fully aware that tooth has problems.

      Mine didn’t numb. It could’nt. They proceeded. I felt everything.

      They told me that happens sometimes.

        That’s hilarious. Yes it was. My mistake was mentioning my #atheism. The torture master turned out to be #Mormon. I was old enough to know better at the time. Now I’m old enough to simply have these monkey-shit brown bone shards extracted. Absolutely exquisite pain.

        No fluoride where I failed to grow up in south Alabama. Anyone graduating sixth grade with all their teeth was called an elitist. Toothbrushes were unknown. If you’re familiar with Tommy Tuberville, you should know he’s a victim of a tobacco spit-swallowing mother, a widespread problem in those parts. Denture swapping was common during meals. Basically shitty luck. I escaped with bad teeth and a crappy disposition. I’m lucky.

          It’s crazy to hear stories like that coming out of the USA. I never know how poor this country can honestly be until I hear stories like that. =( So sorry you grew up through that. I grew up with poor idiot parents as well.
