I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.
It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.
The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.
I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.
Pain tolerance is very low rip. I’m looking to get fully knocked out haha
