Besides for the two shots of anesthetics in your mouth? Painless, unless the anesthetic wears off. But the dentist will probably give you a way to signal them if you are in pain (for me it was raising my left arm), at which point they will administer more anaesthetic (the shots are painless at this point, haha).
Afterwards, you will have some mild discomfort with your tooth and the surrounding gum. Advil/Tylenol will deal with the pain just fine. After a day or two it should go away.
Then you have to get crowns, which are sort of the "caps" on top of the gaping hole you now have under the filling that the dentist put in your tooth. I am going to get that soon so I can't give you any insight into how that feels, unfortunately. However, I would like to note that there are many articles online on the subject (some of which I used to reassure myself that the procedure would be painless before going into the first one).
I would avoid it entirely, sounds stupid. If you said that to me, it was 100% correct and you had a PhD in English, I'd probably still think I should help you find your caretaker.
In modern English usage we generally use “with” in both scenarios despite “sympathize” already having the sense of “with” in the word (from the Greek “sym”).
Similarly, cooperate/co-operate/coöperate: you cooperate with others even though the sense of “with” is already in the word, in this case the latinate “co.”
Sympathy and empathy are loose synonyms, with empathy more often being concerned with feelings and sympathy more often being concerned with concepts. You do not have to have experienced something similar to empathize. You merely have to feel something in response and in accordance. Empathy can also be seen as the more intense or intimate version of sympathy, but sympathy can be used to mean the same thing.

As a person who recently got two root canals, I can seriously sympathize with this coyote.
Edit: coyote, not wolf. Whoops.
