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.

I'm glad you got to a point where you stopped (and good for you for looking after yourself and straightening your teeth). It's wild that the habit pathways we build in our brain are so ingrained that even after such an unpleasant consequence we keep going, even without a chemical dependency.
