    Default Just got a root canal

    Whew! I'm glad that is OVER WITH! I'm still very numb right now. I told my dentist to supersize the novocaine, please

    Hoping to have little residual pain. I took the whole day off of work and glad I did. It was painless but nerve-wracking.

    I talked to the front desk girl, she said our insurance *should* cover everything. I'm hopeful, but last time they told us that last year, my DH had a bunch of work done, and we ended up owing $800.

    The good news is, I have no debt, and I have an EF so if there is a portion I have to pay, it won't kill me like it would have when I had alot of CC debt.

    I'm hungry but too numb to eat yet.
    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference    .

    I just had one a couple of months ago. I am glad you are still numb, so no pain yet. I had minimal pain after the novicaine wore off, it seemed minimal compared to the pain the bad tooth had caused me. I hope your insurance covers it. I have paid $800 so far out of pocket for the root canal and when I get the crown put in it's going to be another $900 (I am waiting for a few months, keeping my fingers crossed I can find a job that offers dental insurance before I get the crown put on.) I hope you feel better, I think I took a nap after the stress of having my root canal (plus I couldn't eat for awhile), it is a very nerve wracking procedure, not painful though, thank goodness .

    Can you have a milkshake or ice cream? Root canals aren't that bad (I've had two) compared to what people say. I don't remember having much pain afterwards. Hope everything goes well and you don't have to pay for anything.

    Bless your heart. Hubby just had one done a few weeks ago and he had very little pain afterwards. Hoping also that your insurance covers the entire bill.

    i have decided that the cost of a root canal and the crown are way to much for me, so at my age i just have them pulled when ever i can, every one i have had done has had to have been pulled anyway. jmho
