Hi..if doctor is good then it's painless. It can be done in one sitting but multiple sittings are preferred for success of root canal. Visit a experienced doctor.

Root canal is not a painful one.. When anesthesia is given u won't feel any discomfort.. Yes root canal can be done in a single sitting provided there is not much infection. Rct is done to save your tooth.. Other alternative is to extract the tooth..

Root canal treatment can be easily performed under anesthesia. Yes it can be done in one sitting only if canal becomes dry. Only alternative is extraction. Visit a root canal specialist near your area
