It's necessary evil in order to keep your teeth. I agree with you about the
jaw open so long temporary aching. and in my case, maybe only 45 minutes at
a time.

I've always wondered (and never googled)....what is the case for/problem
that requires a root canal. I have a 3 crowns and many filling but never a
root canal. I know the process but I'm just wondering what situation
requires one?

My daughter recently went to the dentist. He told her a root canal, then a
crown.
