It's the root canal RETREATMENT that hurts, a root canal is a breeze. So I get to go to a root canal specialist and also go back to Dr. Z for a new (read, second) permanent cap. It's better than OB who has had several retreatments after his old root canals have abcessed (now, from what he says, abcessing teeth really hurt!) LSA
You mean Dr. Z doesn't have that lake house paid for yet?
Well, good luck with the retreatment.
