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
