I keep hearing that various things are *Almost As Much Fun As A Root Canal*
It's been too hot to play outside lately (my favorite place to play) -
So I'm gonna have one - Wednesday morning.

I can't wait -- I need some fun in my life

Just had three teeth yanked out of my face. I've had root canals, and I thought this would be easier. I miss a good root canal now. I would almost tell you that you're lucky, but we both know it'd be better to take care of your teeth and not have either procedure.

I had one about 5 years ago. Heard a lot of scary stuff before I had it done. I felt no pain. Not even after. They gave me a pain medicine prescription, but I didn't need it. Absolutely no pain. I can't guarantee it, but you should know it can be done without pain.

Last two back teeth that needed root canals i opted for having
them pulled instead. Something about the word "nerves" and
surgery did'nt sound like too much fun to me.

I have had a couple of root canals, and they weren't too bad. Good painkillers and some headphones with good music go a long way to ease the experience.

Nothing eases the pain of paying up at the end of a long session in the chair.

I have had two the first was painless, after the usual jabs of novacain or similar stuff.
While deadening the tooth for the second procedure, about a year later, he hit a "nerve" or something and it was like a lighting strike in my tooth, he poked around some more and the rest went fine.
