I just had a root canal last week, and I was freaking out before I went in! But the only thing that actually hurt was the Novocaine, once your numb you dont feel a thing just pressure.. After the numbness wears off you'll just feel pain in your jaw from the shot that will last a couple days, I had no pain in my tooth which was good! In a root canal the dentist will take out the nerves in your tooth which is probably really hurting you.. In my case I couldn't eat, talk, bite my mouth down even sleep I was in horrible pain so in a way I was glad to be in the dentist chair! Good luck!Health Question & Answer
I have had 4 root canals and during the procedure you should not feel any pain.. The Dentist will probably medicate you with Novocaine..A root canal involves removing the nerves..Health Question & Answer
