One of the most common fears patients have is:
“Is root canal treatment painful?”
The short answer:
Modern root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain — not cause it.
Why Does the Tooth Hurt Before RCT?
Pain usually occurs due to:
● Deep decay reaching the nerve
● Infection inside the pulp
● Pressure build-up inside the tooth
The pain you feel is from infection — not the procedure.
What Happens During Root Canal?
● The tooth is fully numbed with local anesthesia
● Infected pulp is removed
● Canal is cleaned and disinfected
● Tooth is sealed
Most patients report the procedure feels similar to a dental filling.
After the Procedure
Mild soreness for 1–2 days is normal.
Pain is typically manageable with prescribed medication.
In Punawale and nearby areas, many patients delay treatment due to fear — but once treated, they often say they should have done it earlier.
Fear is psychological. Infection pain is real.
