Make sure to get two shots of Novocaine if you're not sure. I've tried it with one in the two times I've had to have root canals done and it just doesn't work for me. I can still feel everything and it's absolutely miserable.

There's the tiny awful drill that you can feel going into the tooth, then the big giant one that feels like your tooth will literally crack open because it feels like it's way too big for it. It's not so bad after those two but those are excruciating.

I don't handle pain well and I actually cried after having one done. It was absolutely horrible and I can vividly remember the pain. Actually, I still routinely have nightmares about having it done and wake up in a cold sweat with my tooth throbbing simply from having nightmares over those bloody drills, even though it's been years since I've had it done.

Just...make sure you have enough Novocaine. One shot works for some but won't numb others. You want to be certain that you're fully numb.
