Absolutely wrong.One should take x ray before performing root canal treatment.Because no one knows what's there inside  and around root.Preoperative x ray is mandatory before start of procedure. A big no for starting root canal treatment before starting root canal treatment.

If the decay is very deep with obvious pulp involvement there is no need to take a xray. Its completely ok to start a root canal in such cases.
