New anesthetics and methods for delivery have changed the dental "shot" to the point where it is almost painless. Let your dentist know your concerns before treatment is started. "laughing gas" or Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen may be used in addition to your treatment to help you relax.
No , anesthesia is normal for all types of procedure . Its the technique of a dentist who gives anesthesia.
It can be if the tooth is very infected or highly symptomatic. However, in most cases the provider is able to get you comfortable and keep you comfortable throughout the procedure using local anesthetic.
Anesthesia for a root canal procedure is typically the same level of pain as any other dental procedure such as a filling.
