Answers:
I think I had a bad dentist >____< Mine was extremely painful. For some reason, my shot was painless, but the procedure was torture. Most other people thought it was painless, and oddly enough, my first root canal was painless, while my second one was the torture one. The torture one is the one that sticks out the most for me though. .___. I guess it all depends. If you've already endured unbearable amounts of pain before the root canal, the procedure will be relatively painless, but if the pain has only been dull, the procedure might be more painful.
Buut, it definitely works. It was miraculous. My mouth was pain-free for the first time in over a year, and I could drink coffee and eat ice cream without cringing in pain. (The toothache actually distracted me during my HS entrance test that I didn't make it into my first choice school...)The root canals were definitely worth it, so I say go for it. I was only around 14 when I got both of mine. =P Bad teeth. I had to get 6 fillings too. and now my wisdom teeth are growing in. I hate teeth, honestly.

I got mine on my bottom two molars - the first molar that comes in.Health Question & Answer

when you get the root canal you will be heavily numbed you will not feel a thing and if your dentist does it right you will not feel anything afterward because a root canal is taking the nerve out, no nerve=no way to feel pain. so he will give you antibiotics to save you from infection... you will be good... its a time consuming procedure so you can bring a music player to chill out some but leave it to where you can still hear the dentist...Health Question & Answer

Well when I was 19 I had 6 root canals in the same week.and it depends some spots the dentist numbs u can still feel a little.then other spots u cant feel anything.After a while if u get enough root canals it really doesn't hurt that much.I had root canals in my two front teeth.and it wasn't so bad.cause I really couldn't feel it cause it was so numb.Health Question & Answer

Yes, I was hurting all over. But it was just momentary because when the anesthesia took over, then it was practically painless until completion.Health Question & Answer

Yeah I got one on my molar.

Worst part was the shot, that was pretty bad.

Everything else was 100% painless.Health Question & Answer
