It all depends. If u have what is called a non-vital tooth (nerve is dead) u don't even need anesthesia and might be given an antibiotic to protect u. In case the nerve is vital and exposed to the outside then u need anesthesia so that u can get ur work done. Neither way hurts. The best is that u don't lose ur tooth but the dentist should tell u that a metal post is needed to reinforce it and then finish it up with a porcelain veneer. I guess by the time u read this u already had it done and hope u had a good experience.Health Question & Answer
I have had many root canals (not something to brag about I know). Mostly they don't hurt, they will numb your mouth real well, and the tooth and gums will be sore for a few days. They usually give you pain meds, but ibuprofen works good too. Whatever you do don't put pressure on the tooth for about a week after.Health Question & Answer
I had a root canal when I was like 7 or 8 and it doesn't really hurt. They give you medicine so you can't really feel it. And then just go get a shake or smoothie and prizes for being so brave. HAHA!Health Question & Answer
