How old were you when you needed your first root canal?

I had my first one in 8th grade. Then another in soph year of high school because I chipped off a good chunk of my tooth frosh year and my parents couldn't afford to get it taken care of and luckily my mom got dental with her new job the next year. I had one cavity after that that they tried to fill but said it didn't work so they did a root canal, and I forget when that was. Just had my wisdom teeth out about a month ago.

7th grade I think.

Had wisdom teeth removed (no big deal), a few crowns, bunch of cavities, of course, and some fillings replaced. No root canals. I asked my dentist about it and he said it could always happen, but he said it would probably be no big deal if it does. He's a really good dentist.

Late 20's. Root canal and crown prep...root canal didn't take, so the tooth had to be pulled and a bridge made...fortunately, the dentist didn't charge for the root canal.
