Introduction to Root Canal Pain
Pain associated with root canal procedures is often 
misunderstood. Many believe that root canals are 
inherently painful; however, the truth is that with 
proper anesthesia, patients typically experience little to 
no pain during the treatment. The discomfort that may 
arise post-procedure is usually mild and manageable, 
contrasting sharply with the severe pain caused by 
untreated dental issues. Understanding these facts can 
alleviate anxiety for patients considering this essential 
dental treatment.
