I always like to offer my patients options for them to choose. Here is another option for you. You can have general anesthesia(going to sleep). This is usually reserve for patient who are very nervous or patient with physically difficulty.
I don't recommend it for you. Again I think you will be fine on the next visit.

This is actually very common. To make your next trip a little more comfortable, you an ask your endodontist to prescrip some Vicodin. Take it may be an hour before your visit. It will also help with post op pain control, if you have any.
I truely think the next visit will be much better than your last one.

My endodentist attempted a root canal on a lower back molar today. I have undergone 2 root canals with the same doctor before and had zero discomfort. Today she gave me 2 injections which numbed my mouth very well. Once she was inside the tooth I experienced pain. She then injected inside the tooth (excruciating 2 seconds of pain). She drilled some more and all was ok, then she inserted the first file, and I FLEW up in the air. The pain was beyond belief. I had tears streaming down my face and could not believe this could happen to me. She then packed the tooth and filled it, and said when I go back next week the nerve should be virtually dead and she will continue. I do not think I have the inner strength to attempt it again. What is happening and how can I continue?
