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.

That's not how root canals work. They drill through the top into the creamy nerve center and then clean out the nerve and replace that with some packing material. The root of the tooth is still there though. I completely agree that pulling would be the way better option however.
