After you get your root canal done~WHAT does it FEEL like when the dentist puts posts in??

just curious ...
hey--do they actually have to numb the area just to put the 'posts' in??
And how long does that take?
ugh, atleast the worst is over

Answer:
You won't feel anything at all when a dentist puts a post in. No anesthetic is necessary for that procedure, as a matter of fact.

Posts are put into the tooth only after root canal treatment has been successfully completed. When a root canal is done, the tooth no longer has a living nerve in it. Therefore you can't feel any pain while a dentist is drilling on a tooth that already had a root canal done.

Hope this helps.
the worst is over I had one done when i was younger they did everything the same day so it should be fine good luck!
you dont feel it because ur numb. the post are just these tiny tiny screwy things.
since the nerve inside the canal was already removed and was filled by a certain kind of cement together with the post,then you wont feel anything.its dead already,its like embalming.you just preserve it.
