Yes it is important to go to the dentist, even if your teeth seem ok. Even if teeth aren't hurting it is possible for unseen cavities to develop. Catching cavities when they are small and non-painful allows them to be fixed with smaller or more conservative treatments. Once a tooth starts to hurt or "look like there's a cavity" then typically more extensive work needs to be done. If you haven't had a cavity in a long time, and haven't had many fillings or other dental work done you could ask your dentist about extending the time between cleanings to 12 or 18 months instead of 6.

Root canals are the best way to remove a painful or infected nerve from a tooth, but the procedure does cause inflammation around the tooth being treated and this could cause pain unless the tooth and the area around it are numb (aka anesthetized) These days root canals are typically painless or very low pain due to the strong, targeted anesthetics we have available.
