Ive had root canal surgery. They numbed my mouth then drilled a f**k off hold in the back of one of my front big teeth, have to get the plug replaced every year aswell. You might suffer discolouration of the tooth aswell.

haha yeah i hope so:P was talking to my friend who had one and he said its painful but you get over it like:P his got infected though so I was a bit "ahh" haha:P
I wouldnt mind too much but when I went into the dentist last week he said "Hi I'm the NEW dentist" I don't want the new guy, I want the experienced guy and also he looks about 12:P
lol It's funny reading what different peoples conception of what a root canal treatment is... Basically in your first visit what you've had is the irrigation (cleaning) and obturation(packing) of your root canal. I'm assuming it's an upper front tooth that you've had the injury on? If so this is the most simple tooth to do an RCT on and you shouldn't have any complications other than discoloration + lack of sensitivity . I'm also assuming you're booked in for another appointment to have a restoration (filling) or veneer/crown on top of the root canal treatment? It's very rare to have the procedure completed in one visit....
How's the tooth looking now anyway? It's been a week so things should be fine if it was a successful treatment.
ooo didnt check back on my thread... The tooth seems to be ok now except still hurts a bit to bite down because it is fractured and i'm having it pulled out on december 3rd, i'm told to expect a lot of blood?
