and...

I don't recommend it.

 

[sks]

Well I never heard of a dentist not injecting a numbing agent for major dental work

Was it in South America or something

No, my tooth was so abscessed that they couldn't use anesthesia. I looked like someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat. More than once.

 

[sks]

How's the tooth now

I tell this story a lot, but I once had a root canal without anesthesia.

I've had a root canal on a tooth that wasn't even in my mouth. Try to wrap your head around that...

Oh my gosh they should have put you on antibiotics first

They did.

Well, that was easily the worst pain I've ever experienced.

 

[sks]

I bet!!!

Is this some riddle?

 

[mboone73]

Is your tooth okay today

Yea, it's fine.

Who's mouth was it in?

It was knocked out during a soccer game while I was in high school. 3 front-lower incisors dislodged and touching the roof of my mouth and the 1 tooth knocked completely out.

I was in braces at the time, so I was sent immediately to an orthodontist to have my braces rewired and 3 dislodged teeth shoved back into place, while my knocked-out tooth was delivered to my dentist who did the root canal on that tooth at his office about 10 minutes away.

Once the dentist was done, he brought my tooth to the orthodontist, who didn't have anesthesia at his office, to reinsert the tooth. Felt like they were trying to shove a piece of broken glass into my gums... Then they had to rewire that tooth and crank on it some more to shove it all the way back in the socket.

I give the whole experience a solid F-
