No: Proper treatment includes "pain control". Today's dental community take this very seriously and us local anesthesia to control the comfort of the patient. Call your dentist to discus their approach and find the person that make you feel comfortable with your decision.. Good luck -.

No: Contrary to what you might have heard a root canal will relieve your pain almost immediately. Please see an endodontist for your root canal.
