You cannot continue with temporary filling.....there will be high chance of secondary caries due to microleakage from temporary filling....which leads to pain and progression of the infection....I can assure you there will be no gagging reflex if you are having RCT....So throw your fear and visit a dentist.....All your fears and problems will be solved....and you will lead a healthy "tooth" life..
