I'm about to give myself a root canal/filling. I have no dental training. But the pain is more than I can bare.
Ask me anything.
I'm scared guys.

Last year I had to do a root canal. The anesthesia did not took effect in my tooth and the dentist said that she could not apply more anesthesia cause I already had took an amount equivalent to 5 persons. It was agonizing.
I got a pretty bad infection on my thumb years ago from biting my nails. Doctor had to remove a chunk of infected tissue/pus or whatever it was using a scalpel. He tried 3 times to do local anesthesia, didn't work, so finally he said he just needed to get it done. It was the most agonizing thing I've ever experienced.
From biting your nails??? No judgement, just curious if you mean the skins around and under your nails, or just literally biting them short... for reasons
It was the skin on the side of my thumb that folds under the nail. I used to chew through it sometimes when I had a hangnail from nail biting.
