Easier than getting a cavity drilled IMO. For the pain before hand, take 2 motrin. Knocked that shit right out for me.

They just numb it real good...and go to work...I had to get a crown put on after the root canal...cause i hit my front tooth on a pole and it was just hangin there......I had to go to like 5-6 visits to get it done.....It doesn't really hurt at all.

root canals arent as worse as getting your tooth filled.

word of advice: When your injected with novacaine, tell the dentist you stilldont feel it so he can pump you with more.

I had one done last year. It wasn't bad at all! I was totally numb and it actually felt kinda cool albeit a little weird.

It's probably all in the dentist. I felt nothing that whole morning, then I was on pain killers for the rest of the day.
