Edie... In the case of a root canal, speaking from LOTS of experience, the procedure isn't any different - discomfort-wise - than having a plain ol filling done. In other words, unless you're going to a dentist who doesn't practice modern dentistry, you should have very little, if any, pain. The one difference you'll notice is it'll take two visits to the dentist to have the procedure completed 'cause a mold must be made of the tooth upon completion of the work, and a crown (or whatever your dentist caps the tooth with) will hafta be ordered and made. Until your second appointment, you'll have a temporary cap on the tooth... no biggee. Be at ease, m'friend... this ain't as bad as it's cracked up to be!

Never had one before. Glad to hear that it is not as bad as it is made out to be. Also, had to have a molar pulled two weeks ago because I lost too much bone under that tooth. I wonder if there is any connection with bone loss and parkinson? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Edie 63/l7
