I had a root canal done. The process itself was no big deal at all, very easy, no pain. Then I needed to go back and get a filling, easy, right?
However, the numbing part was one of the worst experiences ever. The dentist went to inject the numbing agent and instead jammed it into a nerve in my jaw. When you do that, it causes a huge adrenaline rush. The dental staff had to take my heart rate because it spikes it so hard that it can cause hypertension.
My hands were shaking, I was laughing and crying at the same time, it was so awful. While they were trying to calm me down, the dentist told me that in his 3 decades of practicing, that had never happened ever.
I just sat there crying, just because it was causing me to have such an adrenaline rush.
So then they prep me again. The dentist proceeds to inject it incorrectly all over again.
I stumbled out of the surgery area and back into the waiting room and the clerk was asking what the heck happened. They never billed me for my root canal, probably because they expected me to hit them with some sorta lawsuit or they felt bad, I dunno. Haven't been back to a dentist since.
