...autant que se faire arracher une dent
the explanation above about root canal is correct, but to have a root canal means to have a surgery in the root canal, and here the expression is used figuratively in the sense of something painful or very unpleasant, so "se faire arracher une dent" or a similar expression would render the idea

traitement de canal
Declined
This is the term for describing the treatment of the "root canal". Personally, I would go with "se faire faire un traitement de canal" as it is much more painful than to simply have one's tooth removed.
