I had one a few years back. The procedure itself wasn't terrible. It took a long time and it hurt after the Novocaine wore off, but it wasn't horrible. However, it didn't fix my problem 100%. It was a lot better, but I still had problems that started getting worse again over time. Eventually, about a year later I had the tooth pulled and got an implant.
My GF is a dental assistant who is going to school to be a dentist and she tells me that root canals are different for everyone and a lot of it depends on the level of damage to your tooth and other factors. Also, the dentists' skill plays a big roll. She says many people get them, have the tooth fixed and never have another problem and others have bad experiences and end up pretty unhappy and the procedure doesn't fully fix the problem
