Dentist is going to remove the root and put a bolt or something up in there, then some sorta cap. Piece of cake, right?

ick... bad news buddy... root canals suck. Hopefully you'll get lots of Vicadin. 
Good luck.

AAAAAARGH!
it's THAT bad but it will end in a cpl of secs, nothing to worry about
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

A root canal isn't too bad, if you get someone who knows what he's doing. I've had a grand total of one, fortunately from a good doctor. Make sure sure you're numbed up enough, and be aware that there's likely to be two or more sessions, where you're required to keep your mouth open for and hour or more at a time. The doctor I went to used tiny hand files beyond the initial drilling to open things up. I don't know if thats standard or not, but four years in, still no problems. Cost me $800, total.
The most painful part is when they check to see if there any of the nerve left after they believe they're done. They literally have to poke around to see if you feeel anything, and, even under heavy anesthetic, you will if anything's left.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

I've had two. Not a pleasant experience, but getting wisdom teeth removed was worse. Then again, the one wisdom tooth came apart during the extraction, so that didn't help anything. That cracking noise was pretty disturbing."Stuie has the right idea" - Japher

I've got a bad tooth that will need a troot canal one day soon. Last time I went to the dentist about it he gave me some antibiotics and the pain went away. He wasn't sure what tooth it it is. Now I now what tooth it is so I will probably just get it done next time it gets painfull.

They put me out for wisdom teeth also.
I'm getting a happy pill, novo shots, and laughing gas for my root canal. Plus I have 10 narcodic pain killers which I'll auction off to pay for the whole thing.
Actually I have dental through my work.Long time member @ Apolyton

I went straight to a bar afterward and drooled beer all over myself (because of the novacain) whilst trying to forget the experience.Originally posted by DuncanK

I had a root canal done, but since the dentist thought the root was dead, no novacaine. He figured the novacaine shot would hurt worse than the root canal. He was right on the first part but wrong on the second part. I've had two wisdom teeth pulled. One was infected. I complained about how much the extraction hurt and the dentist said, he expected that because novacaine usually isn't effective when the tooth is infected. Don't know if I was mad about him not telling me about that one prior. (that one did crack during the extration, ow)
Next time, I want gas
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

When I said to get someone who knows what he's doing, I mean get a specialist -- someone who does only root canals, and does a lot of them. You will not regret it.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

I had three root canals removed but I heard such horrible stories about wisdom tooth

All I can say about root canal treatment is

Mine was infected. That's the only way I knew something was wrong. I don't think I will wait until it gets infected again. I think I'll go straight in.Originally posted by rah

...oh yeah, fortunately I have never had any bother from wisdom teeth except a bit of 'gnawiness' but that has long since passed now. I've never had any bother from my root treatments though, no pain, no more than a bog standard filling or any other routine dental procedure...Speaking of Erith:
