Had my first root canal last year - at age 42.
Believe me, the situation leading to the root canal (tooth dying, leading to incredible pain) was much worse than the root canal itself (which went over a period of about 2 weeks). My dentist had to drill a hole through a ceramic crown which had replaced an older filling just 2 years earlier.
