*defending root canals across the world* they really arent' as bad as their reputation. and sometimes you can just have trauma to a tooth that can make it need root canal treatment-(blow to the face, breaking the tooth while eating hard candy..etc) but MOST of the time....the reason root canals are so painful is because people have let them go for so long, they get a huge abcess and there is so much infection that they are not able to get numb from the anesthesia. Which sometimes you would just put them on an antibiotic. My boss did a root canal treatment on my tooth 2 days before my wedding and it was fine. Now..there are SOME instances where they are painful for no reason, but if you catch it in time...hopefully things will go smoothly. So if you ever need one, just let them use some valium or Nitrous..and you'll be just fine :D

I thought I was loosing my mind for a minute when I noticed it was gone. I loved the photos...especially the last one...

well hello Suze! great picture. love love love the necklace.

Normally i agree with that. But, quick question - does that mean that people who are not handsome cannot recognize handsomeness in others? :confused:

Oh, and "no". There's a pic in my profile, though.

if he hasn't finished the actual root canal treatment, he has probably just removed the nerve tissue and bacteria. then they have to shape the canals and fill them. Once that is done, they will go back and put a regular filling in the space they created to get to the canals. (you may have to have a post anchored down depending on how much of the tooth structure is gone) then you need a crown-all of the blood supply and nourishment is gone from the tooth, so it becomes very brittle. If you dont' place a crown, you could bite into something and break the tooth. Your dentist may have already told you all of this tho, so I'm prob just talking out of my ass :) hope everything goes o.k. It sounds like tho, he needs to finish the RCT if you are still in that much pain. if not, definately bring it up. there could be many reasons of why it's not getting better.

I never thought of that. I think that can go both ways. You know the old saying about playing in your league. I don't know. Now I'm confused. haha.

Nice! All half an inch of it. You look like a QT, for sure. Love the drink in the hand.

Bad webcam pic taken of me moments ago. :D

Apparently I may have lost my mind, certainly my courage.

Don't worry about it, that was just a little joke. Very little. :laugh:


Thanks! Me, too. In fact I wish it was in hand right now. :)

Ooooh...me likes your style! I'm just about to pour a little spirit into my body now.

Enjoy. I've got to do homework, at least for a few hours. *sigh*
