I ´ve had one root canal and one extraction......

the root canal was made to one of my molar which was filled a while ago, the filling came off and I was fine for many many years (I´m talking since a kid) but my molar still had a huge hole now (no pain, no nothing) but then......my kid was born and my molar started bothering me, i went to a dentist and supposedly he cleaned it up and filled it again, and Oh suprise!! two days later I went to another desntist with mayor MAYOR pain......he took the filling off and let my molar drain (the first one just filled it right away) and a few days later he told me I barely had a molar left, so either root canal or extraction and then a prostetic molar (which meant $$$$$) so I went for root canal........

I have a bad histoty with anesthesia (It takes too long to work on me and lasts very little) so you can imagine i had like 10 shots until he couldwork and I had to come about 3 times to get it completely done as he could not give me too much anesthesia in one session.......

now my molar doesn´t bothers me but sometimes I do think maybe an extraction without a fake molar would´ve been more easy, as after that i had a full dental checkup and fixing and after that another molar was bothering me, finally a wisdom teeth!! (haha no wonders) but it was taking too much space so it had to be removed in 10 min I was out and happy with my molar in a bag LOL

sometimes I think I feel something in my root canal but I also think it´s just my imagination as ALL my nerves were taken off (he told me usually a person has 2 I had 3!!) but I just don´t know.......I have such a powerful mind....
