Trust me it doesn't even hurt.
The worst part is the shot that makes you numb and that is not even bad
If you are really worried just close your eyes the whole tie, listen to music, or anything. You will be fine
When your tooth is infected it hurts because there is a nerve in the middle. Your dentist will numb the tooth/nerve and remove the nerve from inside the tooth and clean and fill the canals with an organic material.http://hoytdental.com/blog/does-a-root-canal-hurt/
Root canal procedures may cause some discomfort, but with modern techniques and anesthesia, the pain can be effectively managed. During the procedure, you will be given local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring that you don't feel any pain. However, it is normal to experience mild soreness or sensitivity in the treated tooth and surrounding area after the anesthesia wears off. This discomfort is typically temporary and can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain relievers recommended by your dentist. If you have any concerns about pain during or after a root canal, it is best to discuss them with your dentist, as they can provide guidance and address your specific needs.
I can only speak from my experience but I had a root canal done on a molar 2 years ago and it was easier than a lot of fillings I've had done. Honestly I was more bored than anything since the appt takes awhile. I was really nervous going in since there is such a stigma around root canals but I swear it was one of my easiest dental experiences, except maybe on the wallet :)
They can hurt, but it really depends who you go to. A root canal specialist or Endodontist treats inflamed, infected, painful teeth all day and everyday. They are experienced at giving profound numbness to all teeth and complete root canals more quickly which helps prevent tired and painful jaw muscles.
If your jaw is very infected though and you go in with severe pain, anesthetic may not be as effective and you could experience some discomfort. This is another reason not to delay going to the dentist!
i got one done recently. And i thought it hurt. but i am only young. that quite did hurt. you can feel it somtimes around the nerves.So yeah............................................................................................................=]
even though i did have freezing:P

Post-operative pain or soreness after a root canal on average will last 3 days. Some patients feel no pain, while some feel pain for 1-2 weeks. Anything within this range is normal. If your prescribed pain medication is not working, I would call your dentist or root canal specialist.

Yes, it does. I've had anything you can think of done to my teeth, including extraction, and I'm afraid root canal treatment is the most painful. It lasts an hour, it's tough to keep your mouth open the entire time and it's a sharp pain (although not constant) that you can barely bare. I've had it done 4 times, it's not cool.
No, it doesn't, the only pain I experienced was the needle used to put in the numbing agents. And since the nerve is removed in the process, there is no pain afterwards.
No, its not painful. Root canal will be performed only after proper anesthesia is administered.However one might experience tickling sensation.
there only supoosed to hurt a little bit
around the gum

Pain is minimal and may be treated with over the counter pain medications.

How much does a root canal hurt and how do you know if you need one?
my friend had a root canal and it started hurting so he went to the dentist and his mouth was sore for 16 hours
Why does it hurt when i oprn my mouth yo eat 5 days after root canal - no pain right after root canal - the pain is on the same side i had the root canal but it doesnt hurt near the tooth?
Many times when the canal was deep and infected the dentist will use special files to widen the canal. This is essentially removing tissue from the tooth. this can cause the gums to be sore. Now if the root was not all removed you would feel pain in the exact tooth. thanks for reading.. Http://www.BrowardDDS.com is my Dental website.

How are root canals helpful?
I remember a few years ago, I had a rotten tooth. My dentist said if he didn't perform a root canal, the rot would get to my bloodstream, poison, and kill me. So the root canal saved my life. And it didn't even hurt much.

Should your gums and tooth still hurt 3 weeks after a root canal?
No. There something else going on. It may still be infected or possibly the occlusion needs to be adjusted. Return to the dentist who performed the root canal and let them diagnose the problem.
Why does your tooth hurt that you had a root canal done on about 3 years ago?
Generally its not the same tooth that may be hurting, if the root canal was performed properly. You should go see a dentist to rule out other dental issues you might be having. Once the root is removed it is a dead tooth, no longer susceptible to sensation. A "root canal" procedure does not include the removal of a root(s), only the "killing" of the nerve down the center of the roots.
