I'm going to be having a root canal done next week. Is there anything I should be concerned about with having epilepsy?
 
I had 2 root canals and there was no problem re. my seizures. I was a bit worried that my stress might trigger a one but it didn't.

I did make sure the dentist knew about my seizures just in case I did had one in the chair.

I am warning you though, the bill was more painful than the treatment.
 
I know when they told me how much is was going to be I almost s*!# myself! Luckily my husband has really great insurance and I'll only be paying 20% of the cost, which is almost nothing.
 
I had my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago and had no problems with that. I just wasn't sure if a root canal would be different.
 
I've had my wisdom teeth taken out surgically which was much nicer than a root canal but I can't compare it to having a them pulled.
