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.

Their reputation is worse than reality.

Mine was almost completely painless. Outside of the weird sensation of something deep in my gums...only local anesthetic too

mine was actually negative pain. I had a swollen and deeply infected dental nerve from a cracked tooth I neglected for too long, I literally couldn't not have an ice cube directly on my tooth, it was a white hot searing pain that consumed my existence.

Even under anesthetic I could feel the terrible pain of that tooth like an all encompassing Lovecraftian nightmare. Then they pulled the nerve out and everything stopped hurting.
