Don't let the sights and sounds scare you. Rct is pain free when done under anaesthesia and proper medication. These days Rct can be done in single sitting also, unlike previous times.

Any dental treatment, with the modern techniques and protocols is absolutely painless. Procedures like root canal treatment and extraction are done under local anaesthesia and are not painful. Delaying the treatment can cause the symptoms to aggravate further. Regards

Root canal treatment is not at all painful if done properly under the influence of local anaesthesia. Also crown is important after the rct which once the rct is done. There will be no pain in crowing
