I understand a root canal has 2 parts. The Part A where they extract the nerve and Part B the Post & Crown. They have already extracted the nerve, so Part B should be relatively painless, right? since they are cementing the post to what is left of my tooth. I am petrified of the dentist and I wanna know if the worst is yet to come.

Yes, this part is virtually painless. The most painful part of a root canal is extracting the roots. Your gums might be a little sore or sensitive, but the process of cementing on the crown shouldn't hurt at all.

I do not remember any pain associated with step two of my four root canals. Your gum may get alittle irritated in the area where the crown is cememented but it is really nothing. Try not to stress yourself over it, honestly it should not hurt at all. Don't be scared the worst part is over. Good Luck.

It's not bad. The first part was definitely the worst.
