I've had four root canals since high school, and I had about a dozen when I was 2.
All but one of my root canals that I can remember (I can't remember when I was fucking 2) were completely painless. The endotologist or whatever the name for a tooth nerve doctor is did a great job of doping me up. I didn't even feel the novacaine needle, and usually that pinches like hell.
But I had one of them done to my very frontmost tooth (the upper one, on the left) and it was the most pain ever. Well, it hurt like hell for weeks before I had the root canal, so that probably explains it more, but apparently there isn't enough gum tissue or something by the front teeth, so the novacain injection had to be directly into the nerve. It hurt so bad I almost passed out. I was screaming before he even took the novacaine needle out.
So, the point is, a root canal might hurt, but it probably won't. Here's how you can tell if it will probably hurt: If your tooth is in horrible agony right now, before the root canal, the root canal is also probably going to hurt. But if your tooth feels fine, but they tell you that you need a root canal anyway, it probably won't hurt.
