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.

Last year I had to do a root canal. The anesthesia did not took effect in my tooth and the dentist said that she could not apply more anesthesia cause I already had took an amount equivalent to 5 persons. It was agonizing.

Do you smoke weed by any chance? There's a cross-tolerance between cannabinoids and local anesthetics.

No weeds. It's only inflamation, that also inhibit the effect of anesthesia
