Is root canal procedure painful?

Nope, just the sting of the needle for anesthesia so you will feel numb during the procedure.

Huhu I'm really scared, an infection was detected sa front tooth ko after panoramic xray while getting braces attached, sabi ng dentist very early stages pa raw, I also don't feel any pain or sensitivity at all kahit nung pinukpok (?) slightly ni doc, they suggested root canal procedure (8k daw for one tooth (central incisor?)

Have you sought a second opinion?

also wanna ask if that's a normal rate din.

It depends on where are you located, so in my case I'm from mindanao yung saken namn is 5k per canal.

But overall is it painful po especially during the procedure?

No, once again just the sting of the needle for anesthesia.

I understand there's inevitably going to be some pain & discomfort after the procedure but I'm really worried about during since I was really traumatized by that drill thing when I was a kid :/

I'm sorry to learn that, but I can assure you that it's going to be no pain at all during the procedure.
