Anyone ever get a root canal? Can you tell me about them? Dentist today did an X Ray and exam; says I need a root canal and crown. Why not just get it pulled? (I would be in less pain faster AND it costs way less than a canal and crown....)

yes I've had both (root canal + crown) and just getting a tooth pulled... I 100% recommend root canal and crown... you definitely heal faster and it's cheaper for an extraction but then you have a missing tooth in your mouth. I have a missing molar and it's so annoying to eat anything (it hurts also to chew anything on thay side because the gums are exposed) and it's awkward feeling, not to mention your teeth can shift and change the way your mouth/teeth look. I got a root canal and crown on my front (one over) tooth and you can't even tell the difference from my regular teeth and that one.

I've had two root canals and I HATE them. I am a big baby when it comes to nerve pain and it takes a lot for me to get numb so it was painful and scary. My husband has had them and says they are no big deal so I think it depends on your pain tolerance, your ability to get numb and your dentist!

Hmmm. @b3autifulm3ss Yeah, it's my molar in the way back on the top left; the dentist said I would only have 1 molar there if I get it pulled. Insurance doesn't cover crowns and I'd have to see the specialist for the root canal price...I'm glad you mentioned the tooth shifting I'd hate for that to happen. This is rough...

Oi. I hate needles period. They had to put me to sleep to remove my 3 wisdom teeth back in 2009. Is the root canal a quick procedure though? @momagainjj82,

The first one I had to go back twice for them to finish it and this last one I had to go back once. It's a lengthy procedure. And my jaw gets so sore for days for holding it open for so long. The relief of pain in the tooth after made it worth it though. It's so damn expensive too!!! Ugh!!

Ok. They told me to ask the specialist about pricing. Ouch, I can only imagine the pain @momagainjj82
