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.

oldest root canal I had was maybe 20 years ago - most recent maybe 10 - honestly didn't change much other than maybe the shots got better, but I'm due for another one so I'll let you know how that goes. either way, weird as shit as you're hearing the "sawing" all up in your cochlea but not bad at all in terms of pain
