Root canal: Your tooth will be numbed up during the root canal treatment so you will not feel any pain. You should talk to your dentist if you have any questions about the procedure. He/she will expain the procedure and reassure you that you will be comfortable.

Relatively painless: Fortunately, modern anesthetics allow dental debridement procedure to be done virtually pain-free and worry free. Poor oral health and untreated oral diseases can have a significant impact on your general health and quality of life.
