Is it True That its Not the Root Canal Procedure That Hurts- But Rather the Pain Leading up to it?

I set up a Dentist Appt for Tuesday to have a Root Canal done and was wondering who has gone through this and what was your experience?Is it True That its Not the Root Canal Procedure That Hurts- But Rather the Pain Leading up to it?
You have already experienced the worst pain. The shots to numb the tooth hurts, but the rest shouldn't. If it does, let them know.Is it True That its Not the Root Canal Procedure That Hurts- But Rather the Pain Leading up to it?
Yes. It was a relief to be having it done!
the only part that hurts is getting the shots in your gums to numb it. that's all. i got one last year and was petrified going into the appt. i was totally surprised that the only thing that hurt was the shots, and i was used to it because i have had cavities before so i knew they weren't that bad!
