But, in spite of it all, it wasn't really bad at all.....went back a week later for my permanent bridges.
The worst part of the procedure was that I swallowed one of my temporary bridges, lol!!!

I'm assuming you found it? Please do not elaborate, I can't stand the visual.
She went over the Bridge with me as I had studied and was worried about the root canal procedure. I can't recall the name of what they fill the nerve cavity with, but it could cause permanent arthritis, which of course, would be in relation to your personal health.
Anyway, she showed me the Bridge models and went on to explain that she would have to grind the back and front teeth, which are in good condition, and she didn't want to do that.
She then showed me the little pointed rubber things they replace the nerve with. It's not a solution item like I had read. That made me more comfortable with the procedure.
