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
Bruh. Just get lidocane from the pharmacy, it’s not restricted.
Why do that when you already have so much anal lube?
Oh, he knows. 😏
in some places it’s restricted, and where it’s not you need a prescription from a doctor (which defeats the whole point of doing it yourself)
It is around here in the concentrations you need it to be for self-dental work
ಠ_ಠ
Anybody else noticed there’s is no green text to read at all?
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
They are not implying they are the same procedure. But after a root canal, you can’t just leave it open. It needs to be filled. So while you’re trying to be snarky, it actually comes across as you bring the one who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
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
Woah, filling cavities with the help of a soldering iron. Nggggg no no no
I think that’s a rotary tool. Like a Dremel
I bestow upon thee the sentation of a tooth shattering in its socket
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.
Do you smoke weed by any chance? There’s a cross-tolerance between cannabinoids and local anesthetics.
Wow that sounds brutal. I’ve had two and a few teeth removed, but the anesthesia has always completely numbed the area. I can’t imagine being able to feel that.
Thats sounds traumatic, holy shit.
Yeah… It was painful as shit. But once she reached my root and applied anesthesia directly to the root, my pain was gone. But yes, it was f painful and traumatic
