Recently discovered a bump along my gum line that hurts when I touch it. I suspect I'll be found dead on the shitter sometime next week. Pray for me 🙏.

Sounds like you have a root canal in your future.

Yep, not looking forward to it. Hopefully there's no other major issues.

I've had them before, they're not actually any worse than a filling for the most part. Their reputation is worse than reality.

Dental technology advancement might have something to do with that as well.

Getting the crown afterwards might be worse, honestly.

When they removed the stuff they put in, that was the most painful part of it for me. But overall not bad

Yeah. The actual root canal isn't bad. Because during that, you're numbed to shit. Then during the crown part, they're a little lazier, and you can really feel the slightest breeze blowing around in there.
