Has anyone here had the bad luck to undergo this? I'm wondering if I have to endure this. Share your experience?

What was that like? I'm thinking about getting the one and only one I have extracted. *pondering* It's not annoying but it gets in the way sometimes.Originally posted by the Bear:nope.. just had one wisdom tooth taken out..

primary six. school dental clinic. I think the dentist used me as an experiment for maybe, his first root canal.Originally posted by jetta:Has anyone here had the bad luck to undergo this? I'm wondering if I have to endure this. Share your experience?
I had to go back again and again, the senior that took over, she mumbled over and over what a bad job the first one did to the nurse and pulled it out.
er... that I remember that episode after so many decades, I presume it was not a pleasant experience at all, and possibly traumatic. -
Two here. One in Singapore and the other here in the US.Originally posted by jetta:Has anyone here had the bad luck to undergo this? I'm wondering if I have to endure this. Share your experience?
They were decidedly unpleasant experiences, especially when the dentist accidentally touched a nerve during the procedure.
(As a side note, one of the molars that had the root canal procedure done to it, fractured last year. The fracture went deep enough that the dentist was not able to use any of the remaining tooth as a foundation for a crown. I opted to just have the entire molar extracted.)
What's the situation with you? -
Nothing bad. I only have one erupted molar on the upper jaw that looks like an upside down mountain. The dentist said that it may grow longer and poke at the gum on the lower jaw. He recommends getting it extracted but then, all the dentists I've seen over the years have asked the same of me. I'm just chicken.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Two here.

Sorry to hear that you were twice traumatised. The hubster has a similar story. He went in to see the navy dentist about two wisdom teeth and ended up having all four extracted at one sitting.

apart from the initial injections and after the novocaine wears off, no pain.. however, the vibrations from the drill (low rpms) gave me a bad headacheOriginally posted by jetta:What was that like?
