I hate going to dentist. I have had a number of visits where the novacaine has wore off and I could feel the pain. The last one was during a root canal while the files where in the canals and the Dentist was treating another patient. OUCH!!

Anyways, I had 2 teeth that had root canals, I did not get the crowns. The temp fillings fell out and the teeth cracked. I lost both teeth, a half a tooth at a time. I fear that there is still partial tooth under the gums and will require an excavation. They do not hurt now, but would like to smile again without the embarrasement.

Does this hurt? Including the possible implant/bridge.

Look for a dentist that offers anasthesia...some are now putting patients to sleep while doing dental work

What really hurts is that you are even considering not having the work done. Get off your high horse and go to the dentist. Before you have any work tell the dentist what your experience has been in the past. Dentist do forget you know they can not remember every patient that comes to them. So remind him or her about your experience. Pain is a good thing, with out it how would we know if there is anything wrong. Buck up buddy!

Without crown root canal treatment is incomplete..teeth becomes brittle n breaks..yes i m sure ur root piece must be in gums..yes u shud get extracted if it cannot be build or save by post and core..
extraction is not painful as anesthetia is give so it will be numb and implant is expensive treatment and bridge is cheaper..depends on budget and age...implant requires minor surgery while brigde requires slight grinding of front and back tooth of missing tooth...
dental treatment is best decided after checkin patients clinically or examining themmbut wht i understand from ur question i have explained u

those root canal teeth themselves won't hurt you because the nerves in them are dead however, they could get infected and yes, that will hurt you. the best plan is to let your dentist extract them before pain starts. allow them to heal and then make a plan on how to replace them so you can smile again.

Does your dentist even know how fast the pain killer or freezing wears off?Mine always gives me extra cause before he's done the freezing is wearing off.I'd rather stay frozen for more than 2hrs than not frozen for an hour.

aww....doesn't soound fun but if you get a good dentist you should not feel anything during the prosedure except for a small pin prick with the novicane and afterwards only minor pain.....something that tylenol will help with.....good luck!
