I'm interested to know what happens in case a patient gets a sneeze or cough during root canal process?

No problem: I usually have a bite block and always a rubber dam in place so that patients cannot bite down. If my patients just let me know that they need to sneeze by raising their hands, i would stop what I am doing and let them sneeze or cough. I could suction out any excess fluid with saliva ejector. Never really an issue.

Let dentist know: Just let the dentist know so he can get instruments out of your mouth, then have at it. Usually a dental dam is placed on the tooth undergoing treatment, so you won't contaminate the tooth.
