Anyone had it? I'm not good at the dentist and might opt for extraction if its less painful.
Really, I try and avoid fuckers - even before i saw Marathon Man. Neutral

Worst pain i ever had was dry socket following a wisdom tooth extraction. I have had root canal, which whilst unpleasant was no where near as awful.

Either way, it's still a dead tooth. Depends on if you want it in the bin or in your mouth. How annoying would it be to you if it was gone? Because having it out is almost certainly a lot cheaper.

Never had either done but in theory neither should be painful if they've done the anaesthetic properly.

Had one on a molar this year, no pain other than a prick from the pain killer, Easier to eat on a tooth than a gum.

Update:

dropped in this AM to book an appt and the dentist said she'd take a look there and then since she'd had a no-show. X-rayed decided there was a crack that could be filled some more and took that action there an then.

Tooth is now more filling than tooth I reckon but it was her advice.
I suggested if I get any further grief I might opt for a pull and she basically said 'OK your choice'.. Neutral

I agree with Wali.
I've had quite a few over the years.
They didn't really hurt once the jab was in.
Not a fan of the smell of melting solder ... but its only for a few seconds.
