A member asked:

How painful is a root canal where the nerve is not dead?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should not be: There should be no discomfort whatsoever during the root canal procedure if you are properly anesthetized. There is always the chance of some post operative pain but in a tooth with intact blood supply this is usually brief and can be effecticvely managed with a combination of otc and prescription medication.
