Root Canal

Around 2007 or 2008 I suddenly started to have some pain in the tooth. As I have went to any dentist earlier for any regular check up, went for the first time as the pain started little unbearable. Looks like a small piece got broken and when they checked all the scanning they found that one of my tooth got infected and it really needs to be addressed on priority. Dentist said Root canal has to be done to fix it. I didn’t get what actually that meant. I thought it will be like just cleaning of tooth. Later only realised it will be drilling of tooth and fixing it with cap. When they did the drilling it was for couple of hours. Though it wasn’t paining as they have given sedative and painkiller but it was of so discomfort. They asked to come after couple of days to fill with cap. It was so painful and discomfort during that time. I was thinking why I need to go through that pain and discomfort. That’s when I realised if I didn’t do that it would have completely destroyed that tooth and it could spread even more and could have even become more complicated. It’s a realisation for me sometimes that kind of drilling or the pain or the discomfort is needed in our life’s so that we don’t live being in the comfort with the things that could completely ruin our life’s.
