How painful is a root canal?

I would like to share my personal experience
Before starting the root canal procedure , Dentist spray some liquid around your gum to make it numb so that when he start injecting local anesthesia around your infected tooth, you will not feel prick of needle. That is true to some extent. You will not feel needle penetrating your gum because of numb surface but after penetrating numb surface you will definitely feel some pain. That pain will be tolerable.
After injecting local anesthesia, Dentist will leave you alone for 5–10 minutes. In that period, the part of your mouth where he injected anesthesia will become numb. Then he will start drilling your teeth and if you feel any sensitivity while drilling, it means you need more local anesthesia. He will give you some more doses of anesthesia. When he drill enough to reach those infected roots, he will stop drilling and pull those roots by his dental instruments. I hadn’t felt any pain during that procedure. You may felt some mild pricking pain after root canal treatment is done.
According to my experience, I think the only time i felt pain is when dentist gave me local anesthesia by injection. Other procedure were painless

  1. A root canal is not a treatment, yet part of a tooth. It is the empty segment of a tooth that contains the nerve tissue, veins, and different cells, otherwise called the mash.
