Most of the time, a root canal treatment (RCT) is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort. Many people are in pain prior to getting RCT because of the infection in the roots of the tooth. Actually, with proper anesthesia, most patients report that RCT is not any more painful than having a tooth filled. Fortunately, dentistry has developed new techniques for delivering local anesthetics painlessly. These techniques also assure that the anesthetics act more rapidly and produce a more “profound” level of anesthesia.
