For me the tooth pain was unquestionably a more intense feeling than that of breaking my leg in multiple places. Though the snow probably helped to keep it numb ;)
But yes, i am flying now in a pain free world of rainbows & butterflies!
Why do i find root canals bad?
Mostly because numerous enlightened souls have alerted me to this over the years. Last year I came across the documentary "root cause" which felt like truth. Even just examining the procedure itself one can sense there is something deeply wrong with it. Wounds need to heal, infections need to clear. But the mouth is not given this chance.
Looking closer at gutta percha it seems natural enough but comes with these very clear words "it has limitations such as leakage, root canal reinfection, and poor mechanical properties. Sealers are needed to seal the gutta-percha core material and prevent microleakage."
So yeah, there are just so many risks with this procedure because once there is no nerve to tell you something is wrong you may go ten years with an infection without knowing about it.
I still have three in my mouth which must be removed.
Better to have a hole in my opinion and a focused intention to regrow the tooth...
