Modern RCT Is Designed for Comfort
Root canal treatment removes infection from inside the tooth and seals it to prevent reinfection. With local anesthesia and contemporary instruments, most patients describe the appointment as similar to a routine filling.
Why Delaying Treatment Hurts More
Untreated infection can spread, increase swelling, and make the tooth harder to save. Early care improves comfort and helps preserve natural biting function.
Aftercare Matters
A crown or definitive restoration is often recommended after RCT to protect the tooth from fracture. Your clinician will guide diet, hygiene, and follow-up visits.
