Just had the root canal today--whoa!! I have been thinking about getting a very small, somewhat hidden tattoo on my butt based on an inside joke with my family!. For those of you who have had both--which hurt worse!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not even close,,, the tooth,, the tat will stop hurting pretty fast,, the tooth won'tWww@Answer-Health@Com

I hate to say it but I don't think either one really hurt!. I had a lot of medicine for pain when I had my root canal!. It was just very sensitive around the gums for awhile afterward because of all the poking with the dental tools around that area!. The tatoo was mostly just pressure and a little bit of a scratching sensation when color was added but I had it done on a really bad sunburn and overall would have to say that it is no more painful than a bee sting!. Not even that bad , just different!. I'd rather get another small tatoo than have another root canal overall!. Hope this helps! : )Www@Answer-Health@Com

tooth I've had one root canal and 15 tattoo's,, the tooth hurts after the novacaine wears off,, anyone that has had a tattoo knows they don't hurt much at all unless you are getting it in a painful place and then they offer you topical numbing cream if you wantWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would think the tattoo would be worse!. They give you Novocaine for a root canal so it should be painless if it's done right!. There's no anesthetic for a tattoo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
