Thoughts Root Canal

[Hannah Capps]

How in the world do I reconcile my faith with being caustically autistic? I believe, and yet I love reading Sylvia Plath’s Unabridged Journals. I’m good at writing, really good. Could be better. Always worse. God aid. I need time away from my parents my umbilical chord out is strained to the tune of Marching into April true friends stab you in the front. Those closest to you, do you. Track, whack, stack. This clustered blustered April 2025. 41, not out of my mind, best place I’ve been mentally in my being. Trashed the first 35 years by cutting my arms to all hell and burning my legs. Eating away my pain, rotting teeth I’m now paying the torturous price for in money and in root canals that cross the barren strait.

I'm not religious, but have heard people who ARE say something like "God never gives you more [pain/struggle] than you can deal with". Could that apply to your dental troubles?

From the actual issue point-of-view, I'm right there with you. In December 2023 I was hospitalized for DKA*. DKA can be triggered by general illness, especially infection. In my case, it was triggered by a dental abscess which they had to deal with immediately and that involved removing one of my teeth that the abscess was beneath. While I was there I was told that I needed a further SEVEN teeth extracted because not even a root canal could save them. So I have anxiety about that. I'm only putting it off right now as I have zero pain from this meaning I'd have to pay for the extractions [it falls under elective surgery if the teeth are causing me no pain, discomfort or issues eating etc]. I'm also lucky that FOUR of the 7 are wisdom teeth that are completely impacted and the other three are back molars.
Certainly has been a kick-up-the-ass to really take much better care of my teeth, though. Not sure how much that will help, though, as my dental issues are caused by a long history of bulimia** rather than neglect.

**However, I have not purged in 6 years

Well, now my heart hurts... I used to self-harm and burn myself. I also had binge eating disorder in my 20s and the first part of my 30s. Hence the issues with the teeth. My dental issues are the least of the valley of the shadow I've walked through. My entire life thus far has been like a minifallout 911 mode of 17-plus years. A COVID-19 for 17 years even with a strong faith. Think of David, or Moses, or Jesus, the martyrs? It's a reason it's called a straight and narrow road that few find. That applies to healing with faith or not. And I suspect it's why I painfully fit into this jagged, ragamuffin, stained-glass chapel called BL. PS. I'm so glad you no longer struggle with purging.

I just had a couple route canals (if not metaphorical) they aren't so bad these days. Couple days of Ibuprofen. Try not to let problems "pile up" so to speak this is a random read from a stranger but you seem hyper intelligent - probably prone to overthinking the heck out of things, stress, anxiety, depression,insomnia especially the night before somethin stressful?. (depression say the doctors I say if you look at the world and are not depressed you may need medication )

God made people, people decide if they inflict pain or not. The free choice thing. Kakalawaka , most humans are no where near good.

And if your dentist is a ex nazi torturer when 7. Drilling with no anaesthetic high-speed drill uncool-ed. Well that should dis-bunk any interference of any God. As if he ain t got other things to do.
Then prevent a kid from extreme pain. So if there is a God. It sucks.
His creation after humans a disaster. 'Al Tar Slut' Amen.

Now they doing Root-Canals that are at least 30 years outdated. Hope it will work for you, i refusing them after having one once.

Then a good Jaw surgeon, att Dentist said its a outdated practice.
The hollow castle theory, like Amalgam fillings eventually where toxic. Mercury emitting trash. Poisoning Dentist s !

Just a cheap option for money making, never trust a dr. !

I ll pray for a good out-coming Hannah, my way, i hate dental shit.
Someone, if i am correct Fairnymph, showed there are even good implants. They do them in Austria only, expensively, vs the screw in shitty thing s. Which need operations cause problems and are weak and expensive.

Most of us aren't American, so "making money" never comes into it for dentists, doctors etc.

No me neither, so what s the difference. In NL dentist s drill holes that are not even there. For the money, no anaesthetic used saves money.

Root-canals make money. Doing them/ treating the inflammation.
The gone wrong RootCanal treatment, a jaw suregeon has to do Rootpoint treatment on too save you. And then artificial teeth too.

EURO s coming in, and no way i am American. But i count
5 treatment s caused by a obsolete Root Canal at least.

And dental shit is not covered, jaw surgeon s are.

The people with money have the best of whatever this planet has to offer and the many many many under the threshold will struggle


You can have whatever and I mean whatever u want here. It just cost money

^Very true --- exception not the rule but I have the best dentist of my life right now and he took me even though he wasn't accepting patient's and I was on medicaid. Really like that dude; no pk's coming but he is damn good at his job.
