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?
