I've been through quite a few implant, root canals, caps, etc (bike accident as a kid)....and the pain is very strange and real, thank god for good pills and nice docs...

My son's girlfriend is deathly afraid of dentistes because of a bad experience years ago. She was having problems with a molar (large cavity, tooth breaking, pain) and needed a root canal and crown. She was going to just live with it till it fell out.
Finally got her to go to my dentist (I paid for it because she has no insurance). To do the root canal, they gave her 3 valium and 2 vicodin.. had her wait and hour then put the nitrous on her. She giggle and then slept through most of it. Gave her percocet for after. When she came back for the crown prep, she was more comfortable. Took 2 valium before and then the nitrous during. They even managed to sneak in a few surface fillings she needed done.
