Root c, what to expect?

I got a root c in January of this year. Everyone says how awfully painful it is...for me it was actually nothing too bad. All they do it drill out the inside of the tooth(but they nmb you up really good so you cant really feel much at all) then they stick a rubber like stick into the hole where they drilled to make sure that the tooth doesnt corrode. Then afterwards you'll be numb for atleast 3-4hours. The dentist will give you some Vicodin for the pain after your numbness dies down...but id suggest taking the pill about an hour before that and you shouldnt feel any pain for a while. =) The most pain is always right after the numbness dies, but if you take the med before you'll be fine and the rest should be a breeze. anytime you feel any throbbing, just take another pill. Just dont over do it. =) Hope this helped and took away some anxiety =D
