OMG! Wisdom teeth out ONLY on novicane!!! Hun a root canal is nothing compared to that!!! I can't imagine having my wisdom teeth out while being awake! My dad is a dentist and very kind, I've been lucky! can you do nitrous oxide? (thats laughing gas) basically makes you feel like you're on cloud nine, I kind of liken it to an out of body experince litterally! My dad was so worried about my pain during one of my root canals he gave me a bit too much so I as really flying. I love nitrus so I kind of am a nut and don't mind the procedures, my dad also has head phones so that if you don't want to hear what is going on ie the drilling and whatever you don't have to! I know you can do it *HUGS*
