I'm about to give myself a root canal/filling. I have no dental training. But the pain is more than I can bare.

Ask me anything.

I'm scared guys.

    joke answer: murica

    actual answer: extract lidocane from anal lube and then use it to numb the area, also practice on some pig jaws while using a mirror as you would for the real thing

    If you’re not sure what the difference is between a root canal and a dental filling, I can’t imagine this possibly ending well.

      A root canal procedure requires the drilled cavity to be filled and then a surface filling after the abscess is drained. I think their wording is fine.

    Last year I had to do a root canal. The anesthesia did not took effect in my tooth and the dentist said that she could not apply more anesthesia cause I already had took an amount equivalent to 5 persons. It was agonizing.

    Man I've been there. If it wasn't for being able to buy fishflex (Cefalexin) and/or fishmox (Amoxicillin) from the pet store, I would have probably done something similar.

    Good luck dude, I pulled my own tooth one time and it is not something I would like to do again
