I'm numb to my eardrum
I love the feel of root canals in the morning. Not really, but as the rank smoke wafted off my tooth I thought of that line from Apocalypse Now. Mmmm napalm.
My dentist:
"You'll probably wanna close your eyes. There might be some pieces [of your tooth] flying around."
"Don't worry about the smoke. I'm not going to start your mouth on fire." I thought he was kidding, but was mistaken.
It wasn't bad actually. What's worse than a root canal? A dentist with bad breath.

Is having a root canal the same as having a filling? I don't like this calling-the-same-thing-something-else thing that you Americans seem to enjoy. It's confusing. :p

No, a root canal is when you get all the pulp taken out of your tooth. We have the same usage for getting a filling. No more anti-American-Englishism out of you.
