I myself have also undergone root canal, it just went smoothly, and still have my tooth.

The tooth's pulp is located in the center of the tooth and in canals called root canals within each tooth root. The pulp consist of connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels which nourishes the tooth when it first erupts.
If the tooth matures, the pulp can be safely removed and the root canals and tooth can be maintained.
Removing the pulp is called "root canal" or endodontric treatment. Most of the cases in root canal procedure will experience no pain because the dentist is going to numb the tooth surrounding the area. There are also numbing gels and modern injection system are are available and virtually painless. You can let your dentist know immediately if there is still pain so that he or she can modify the technique to avoid repeating the pain.
