I'm about to give myself a root canal/filling. I have no dental training. But the pain is more than I can bare.
Ask me anything.
I'm scared guys.

Last year I had to do a root canal. The anesthesia did not took effect in my tooth and the dentist said that she could not apply more anesthesia cause I already had took an amount equivalent to 5 persons. It was agonizing.
Then you walk out and she was bullshitting you.
Nope, there absolutely is a limit to how much lidocaine they can give. It can put you in a coma or depress your CNS to the point you stop breathing or even stop your heart.
Sorry, I should have made myself clearer. What I am calling bs on is that she actually gave him the amount she claims. While I'm not sure of the risks of this exact drug, I would always assume there is an unsafe amount of any drug to give to someone.
