My 200th root canal last month, and it actually felt different
I hit my 200th root canal last month, a molar case in a 68 year old patient who had been putting it off for years. Back when I started in 2006, I used to dread these because the rotary tools we had were clunky and the success rate felt like a coin flip. Now with the newer files and magnification, it took me 35 minutes start to finish, so has anyone else noticed their own milestone cases feeling way less stressful than the early ones?

Wait, 200 root canals? You're counting them? Most of us lose track after 30 and just start drinking more coffee. But yeah, the tech jump is wild. I remember my first rotary file system felt like I was using a power drill on a tooth, now it's basically point and click.
