Root canal treatment is one of the most common procedures in dentistry as well as if performed properly a painless treatment as done under local anaesthesia.

As you may know, the tooth is made up of outer hard enamel, inner dentin and innermost cavity is filled with nerves and blood vessels. Pain comes in the last stages of tooth decay, and that is when only a permanent filling will not suffice. On the contrary, that will worsen the issue. In case you are not convinced that you need a RCT, you may take a second opinion, but do not postpone the treatment. Infection once set in keeps progressing, making it difficult to save the natural tissues.
