If done by a specialist with proper setup,rct is usually painless . If this treatment is needed then it should be performed as early as possible to avoid further complications. Don't worry we do this almost every single day on kids to relieve their pain....It's safe

There is usually no headache after dental treatment.i would advise to go for it if the doctor has suggested so.Avoiding the treatment would do more harm since the child is just 4.
