A guy I work with had one a couple of weeks ago. Last week started not to feel good and lots of pain. Ended up in the emergency room. They gave him a shot for the pain and an antibiotic so he could make it to the dentist the next morning. Huge abscess. Had to lay on his side to drain it all out. He seems like he’s getting better now.
Good luck 🍀

Had 4 or 5 root canals. First one was most memorable as I went through the process with zero drugs, not even novocaine. 20 or so years later had to have it redone as the nerves in that root had regenerated and eventually resulted in a root amputation. I'd still rather go to a dentist than an MD.

Easiest root canal I ever had done was with an Endodonist
My regular dentist referred me to him
Uhhhh, yeah well I would ONLY let an Endo do a root canal anyway. Not sure I’d let Doc from little house on the prairie take a stab at it.

Always accept opioids if you can get them. You can barter them for ammo at the truck stop. ;-)

Most root canals hurt later because of infection.
Hope they gave you some antibiotics to take.
I have had several over the years and still have had no problem with those teeth.

I has all sort of little tiny grinding and scouring burs. We'll get some Numzit from the kids section at the WallyWorld, pack that thing good with some cotton from an aspirin bottle soaked in Numzit, and I'd get right on it. Set you down in the LazyBoy, tilt it way back, put some Wayne Newton relaxation music on, and away we go.

Heck, you could probably get a microwave oven and a MugASoup for a few from the right junkie down on the corner. They'd tell you "I'll be right back with that, just let me get to the WalMart down the street. They're easy to swipe from"

Can't tell you how many folks I've had sleep through a root canal. I slept through one a couple weeks ago. Of all the work I've had done recently, the only thing that involved any real pain was when the doc put a clamp around one of my front teeth that she was drilling and filling a cavity. Root canals, extractions. Meh.

Had a tooth die. Infection.
Was not good night #1.
Night #2 sucked.
Dentist called in morning and on antibiotic for a couple days.
Then root canal
Shoe about flew off once, other than that no big deal ( infection before dentist visit was worse ).
Felt good enough after root canal I didnt take any of the prescribed pain killers.
So about 2 hra or so later......
Holy Cow !
The next hr or so was howling in pillow, beyond wicked.
When that finally ended was OK
And went straight to the pub. Bartender said hey man....you look like chit. I said doubles please
So....lesson learned.....take the painkillers.

I've had tons of dental work. Four wisdom teeth at once was the worst. Even had the roof of my mouth split with a chisel and a spreader bar installed that I had to crank a little each day to make more room for my teeth. Braces, extractions, crowns, root canals, fillings.
Oh yeah. Cousin fugking ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, eh? LOL
