how much pain can you bear?
(midwest.social)
I'm about to give myself a root canal/filling. I have no dental training. But the pain is more than I can bare.
Ask me anything.
I'm scared guys.
If you’re not sure what the difference is between a root canal and a dental filling, I can’t imagine this possibly ending well.
A root canal procedure requires the drilled cavity to be filled and then a surface filling after the abscess is drained. I think their wording is fine.
You have to completely replace the root of the tooth in a root canal. It'd make more sense just to pull the tooth if you were doing it yourself.
That's not how root canals work. They drill through the top into the creamy nerve center and then clean out the nerve and replace that with some packing material. The root of the tooth is still there though. I completely agree that pulling would be the way better option however.
That made me so fucking uncomfortable jfc
They are not implying they are the same procedure. But after a root canal, you can't just leave it open. It needs to be filled. So while you're trying to be snarky, it actually comes across as you bring the one who doesn't know what they're talking about.
