good to know
Root Canal Treatment (RCT): common questions
Is a root canal painful?
The treatment is done under local anaesthesia and is usually no more uncomfortable than a filling — it removes the pain the infection was causing.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracturing and helps it last for years.
