I just learnt a sore tooth of mine is caused by my tooth root never fully closing (due to getting braces and shifting my teeth around). Now at 30 I need a root canal.

Iโ€™ve never even had a cavity before. Iโ€™m legit terrified. Teeth are the one thing that are much worse than nails on chalkboard for me.

How was your experience been? Any words of advice or words of encouragement? I could use it :(

Yep, mine got infected on a trip the usa, food hygiene there isn't what I'm used to. I was considering ripping my own teeth out, over the counter pain killers didn't help one bit.

It was a horrible experience

That sounds horrible! How did you resolve it?

I called my dentist, and got my appointment scheduled to the next morning
