Share your root canal experience

the other day i broke my tooth trying to crack open a pistachio nut. the premolar has a vertical exterior fracture that seems to extend down to the bottom of the root. when i tap my tooth not much happens, but when i tap my tooth at the gum line i lose my vision in a white flash of light. this is likely because the nerve is closer to the surface down there. moverover, ever minute passes with a dull pain.

so, tomorrow it seems likely i will have a root canal. i have never had one before. my excellent dentist referred me to a root canal specialist.

i have had non-impacted wisdom teeth removed and had a major filling done. how does a root canal compare to these past dental events?

can you share your experience so i know what to expect?
