Decayed teeth can cause varying levels of pain, with some individuals reporting minimal discomfort when teeth are decayed but experiencing more pain after fillings by less skilled dentists. Root canals can lead to intermittent pain prior to the procedure, but once completed, those teeth typically do not feel anything. Many participants emphasize the importance of addressing decay promptly to avoid pain. There is a humorous suggestion that having multiple decayed teeth at the same level might mitigate individual pain experiences. Overall, dental pain experiences differ significantly among individuals, often depending on treatment quality and timing.

Okay, please tell if you experienced, why you were/are in pain when you have decayed teeth ?How painful is/was that ? Thank you
I don't know what you are asking. How painful are decayed teeth? Not very in my experience, my teeth hurt more now that I have them filled by crappy dentists than they did when they were decayed (I had 0 pain when they were just decayed and not filled).
One of my teeth has a root canal, that one hurt off & on before I had the root canal done. Aside from that dental pain is pretty mild for me.

When I have decayed teeth, they don't hurt becuase I get them filled right away. I have 2 root canals so those teeth don't feel anything

I dunn have any decayed teeth so far.
Its always safe to have multi then just mono decayed teeth, you should make all be decayed at same level, so none of them will hurt alone, all will do da same and hurt+hurt=zero.
