I had a dentist attempt to give me a root canal. He's drilled down to the base of the crown of the tooth, fishing around with a filament, looking at the x-rays, the tooth, and just poking down there. He seemed to have found what he was looking for, and happily drilled away. Unfortunately, the searing, white-hot pain he released into my head told me something was wrong. He had drilled down into the crown of the tooth, thinking he had found one of the canals to remove the nerve from. What he found was an indentation he had made while drilling out the central portion of the tooth. So instead of safely navigating down a bone canal, he had drilled straight through the base of the tooth, into the gumline, and the jawbone itself.
Suffice to say I found another dentist. The damage he did took nearly six months+ to repair by a competent professional.
