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
Good luck dude, I pulled my own tooth one time and it is not something I would like to do again
What in the murica?
Murica the land of the stupid where you either die or go broke from medical care sometimes both, but at least we got bombs for little kids
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.
You have to completely replace the root of the tooth in a root canal. It’d make more sense just to pull the tooth if you were doing it yourself.
That’s not how root canals work. They drill through the top into the creamy nerve center and then clean out the nerve and replace that with some packing material. The root of the tooth is still there though. I completely agree that pulling would be the way better option however.
creamy nerve center
That made me so fucking uncomfortable jfc
