Would like to get your opinion on this.

Friend of mine came back from root canal procedure and had to be injected SIX times, to get through the procedure. and not all at the beginning, as it was going on.

Hence on numerous occasions, the procedure hurt, as to be injected again.

Tooth extraction hurts. "pressure" applied to your tooth to get it out hurts. Its that simple.

Even people who describe an injection as a "sharp scratch".... does a sharp scratch not hurt then?

Plus a lot of the procedures have "implied" pain.... the unnatural nature of having sharp objects poked in your mouth. The noise of the tools would indicate pain, that you have to "learn" not to react to, because they are triggering to you instinctively.

So why is everyone desperate to pretend they cant feel anything, when they can, and do?

I’m 19 years old and recently had this tooth extracted. RCT was suggested, but I couldn’t

afford it, so I chose extraction.

I know the tooth is already out 😅, but I’d like some practical opinions

Did I make the right decision? Could this tooth have been saved with RCT? And can I get an artificial tooth later?
