You'll get numb: You should not feel much of anything, as you will be anesthetized for the treatment. Sometimes, badly infected nerves are slow to get numb, and could have tough time getting numb completely. So please ask your dentist how you can get numb. Most patients are surprised how painless the procedure was, once it is done.

Painless: root canal therapy may sound like an oxymoron, but new techniques and advanced anesthesia are making it a reality for many patients. It helps you to eliminate future complications and improve your general health and quality of life.
