Is a root canal really that painful?

Not anymore. The procedure relieves pain — it doesn't cause it. Modern techniques and anaesthesia make it comparable to a routine filling.

Will I need a crown after a root canal?

Usually yes, especially on back teeth. A crown protects the tooth from fracturing under chewing forces.

Saving your natural tooth is almost always preferred — it preserves bone, bite and neighbouring teeth. Extraction is a last resort.
