I need a root canal and my wisdoms removed and I’m doing this alone and I’m scared.
Sunny~
:-( i'm sorry you are, will you be able to get home after the procedure?
Shepard-Cmdr
I haven’t scheduled the wisdoms yet
Shepard-Cmdr
It’s more I mean, my mother neglected to help me with this when we learned that it was a good idea when I was 19
Sunny~

Root canals are much, much less scary than they used to be!

They have a bad rep from early dentistry pre local anasthetic and modern dentistry techniques.

Also, a lot of dentists are very experienced with anxiety. A lot of people have anxiety re dentists.

There are entire offices that cater to people with dental anxiety specifically
Shepard-Cmdr
My dentist is really nice, actually
Shepard-Cmdr
I’m just scared of be money and the wisdom teeth which Is more of a actual anesthesic surgery?
Shepard-Cmdr
The root canal is in one of the easier spots

I can’t blame you for the anxiety though
Sunny~

If you can take Vicodin ask if they can prescribe you Vicodin
Velocipumpkin
Because then you will sleep for the first 12 hours and be fine for the next 36
Velocipumpkin
and spend 7 straight hours standing on your feet playing Guitar Hero because you don't get hand cramps or notice fatigue because you're on Vicodin >_>
Shepard-Cmdr
Lmao
Velocipumpkin
Also if you put on fresh gauze and smash wet black tea bags between your back gums against the gauze the bleeding will slow faster
Shepard-Cmdr
I don’t know if Vicodin is something I can have or not

Hardest painkiller I’ve ever been on was 600mg ibuprofen
Velocipumpkin
Ah

Ask your dentist ahead of time if there's something you can do to see if you'll have a reaction. Maybe there's a new blood test I don't know about or they can give you one before they start the surgery to see if you react.
