Root canal treatment Is used as a way to save a tooth that is labelled as âdeadâ.Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, is the procedure involving the removal of infected or dead pulp from your tooth root canal area (The area inside of the hard part of your tooth).Once this matter is removed the cavity is filled with a permanent filling, and finally fitted with a crown. Your tooth has now been saved. RCT Procedures are done under local anaesthesia hence you won't feel pain during the treatment. After your root canal is completed you may feel some discomfort in the treated tooth.Painkillers will help to manage this discomfort once the anesthetic wears off, and the pain should subside after a few days.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You don't need to go under a root canal.
You need to undergo a root canal.
What you need to do now is "just undergo the root canal"
Here is the explaination- "leave from your house for the dentist's clinic and then sit there, then undergo the root canal treatment and then go back home and then take rest"
Best regards.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
