Is Root Canal Treatment painful procedure? - Dr. Aniruddha KB

Root canal treatment is generally done to save the tooth or prolong the life of the tooth, just in case if there is a deep decay in the tooth which cannot be filled without any restoration or probably because of any intentional root canal that is required or the pulp is very close to the eternal surface, generally a root canal treatment is done under local anaesthesia. So the tooth is numb and definitely not painful. A skilled dentist can do a root canal treatment without pain for the patient.
