I've had one. One of my top front incisors. It was easy. The needle was gross, but didn't hurt. Luckily he did numb it before the needle. The freezing took wonderfully!!!

I am absolutley afraid of the dentist. I often choke. As a child I kicked my dentist. Even now I shake or rather shiver without warning. So I guess I should be happy it wasn't on one of my deep molars b/c I think it would have been harder. Though, instead I've treated myself to three crowns :rolleyes: on those far back teeth. I have one more to go, but I've been putting that off.

I found the whole root canal experience with a dental surgeon MUCH easier than any filling or crowns I've had done with various dentists. All my molars have fillings.

Don't worry... it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I was worried sick almost at the point of tossing my cookies and I didn't get much sleep. When I was done and the freezing wore away, my mouth/tooth felt weird.


I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.
