That's a blanket statement if I ever heard one! My ex had a root canal,
the results of which were that he was in so much pain that he was
screaming that evening. This was a man that didn't even complain about
headaches, etc., yet the root canal about did him in. It's the only time
in the 25 years we were married that I ever heard him complain about pain.
Kinda shows it depends on the individual, the dental professional, the
tooth, and the circumstances surrounding that particular tooth. Ya think?

Then his dentist was either incompetent, or your husband was just acting
macho when the dentist asked him if he was numb yet and said yes when he
really wasn't because root canals, although lengthy procedures, do not
normally hurt and it is always better than losing the tooth. I have had 5
of the damn things and 4 caps by 3 different dentists and although I never
looked forward to any of them, they were no more painful than any other
procedure. Now maybe your husband is different but he would be the
exception rather than the rule so exactly what is the point of you trying to
scare the hell out of the person trying to make an important decision or do
you just like to argue?

he was also wrong about the cap thing. Sometimes you need a cap, not
always.

You may not know that it isn't a good idea to get one front tooth capped.
It is often impossible to get the second one to match so you get them both
done at once. Tell the dentist where you are with $$$, have the root canal
and the final hole filled like a filling. If he can't do that get a second
opinion from a root canal specialist - they do exist. He may be able to do
it if a regular dentist can't.
Once you have the tooth pulled you are pretty much comitted to the gap or
later comitted to a bridge which is okay but not nearly as natural feeling
as the real tooth with a root canal.
