Ok.. does it hurt to get a root canal? And I was also wondering about braces?

yes it hurts both hurt take 2 tylenol in the waiting room and do whatever the dentist tells you to do

Pain on a 1-10 about a 5, its just the fact that u can hear evrything going on (the scraping and drilling eww) but it's not as bad as it sounds u wont be able to talk for a couple hours but not that much pain

I've had no root canals. but had braces from 3rd to 10th grade. and it hurt, but now I don't have braces and they don't hurt. and i have straight teeth. Do it now while your parents will pay for it.

Yes a oot canal is very painful and very expensive, braces hurt also but between both of them id rather take braces and pull out that tooth instead of having a root canal it is wicked pain they rip the root right out of your gums.GOOD LUCK!!

Dentistry has come a long way since the 1800's. Novacaine is wonderful and you are asleep while the operation is going on . You won't feel a thing.

Root canals hurt. Alot. If you could, in all seriousness, get drunk before you have it done. If not, make sure you get whatever painkiller dentists use. Braces aren't all that bad though, they hurt a little when you first get them. The most pain is social. So yeah, good luck.

Hi,, the root canal does not hurt.. what bothers you the most is holding your mouth open for so long while the dentist does the work... it takes a while... but it really does not hurt.... i have had several ... the braces,, i cant tell you about... sorry.... good luck

The root canal didn't hurt for me. They numb you up really well and then you can't feel a thing. There was no after pain either for me however my dentist did give me vikodin just in case. I have not had braces so I can't answer you there! I hope this helps a bit.

I had braces in my teens. I remember that getting them in it of itself did not hurt, but you are sore for a few days because your teeth start moving. Then on the monthly visit the docotr usually tightens them so you will be sore again for a couple of days... But its not a terrible pain, you'll get trhoug it...Keep thinking how wonderful your teeth will look like in a couple of years! About the root canal...oh yeah baby, that hurts! The worst part is after the anesthesia wears off, the first 12-24 hours. Make sure you ask the docotr for good pain killers for that first day. After that, you should be ok, if there are no complications. Good luck.
