[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1796613, member: 196992"] I have had two root canals done on separate occasions. The first went from no pain to in-agony within an hour. My dentist saw me straight away. As soon as he injected the local anaesthetic all the pain was gone. He then removed the infected pulp and filled it in with a temporary filling. I came back a week later to have the whole thing done. If I ever need another one and it's not visible to others I'm getting an extraction. Most dental care is not covered by the NZ "NHS." I paid for each root canal without a crown NZD$900 (GBP472). A crown would have cost another $900. And the procedure is lengthy and a bit uncomfortable. It's only now occurred to me that the reason I needed these two root canals was probably because of diabetes. I'm so glad it's been a long time since then. Touch wood. [/QUOTE]
