I totally agree Its diff for everyone, but I had the best exp when I had mine. felt more pain getting a cleaning once...honestly. Don't stress about it.

It's really not bad at all. Definitely not worth the bad name that they get. Novocaine works wonders!

I had one and it heard like all heck because my dentist has a real heavy hand and it just hurt so damn bad.

Re: root canal..

its hurts a little when they shove a little metal thing to clean your tooth and then to get the nerve.it might hurt a little later because i got a few teeth done at the same time . i would try and avoid salty food for a day or two. i had 6 done at time and i was hurting..but its not that bad when they give you the novican .

Re: root canal..

I've had two. Honestly, it's not that bad at all. I've had people tell me that their experience was horrible. I guess it depends on how many roots have to be removed.

You should be fine though.

Re: root canal..

I had one done on my front tooth. To be honest it wasn't terrible. I was sore for about a day or two, but after that I was fine. Milkshakes made everything better

Re: root canal..

not bad at all, you dont even feel anything really. Ive had it done with anesthesia and that you DONT feel anything seriously.

I had an infection and had to have one without anesthesia bc you cant use anesthesia with an infection and even if you did it wouldn't work. I got through that and wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. You wont have this im sure lol but if i got through it without anesthesia trust me you'll be fine.
