Painless root canal treatment is a modern dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged without causing discomfort to the patient. In the past, root canals were dreaded for their association with pain, but with the advancement of dental technology and local anesthesia, this procedure has become far more comfortable. During a painless root canal treatment, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth, which is the soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels. After cleaning and disinfecting the area, the tooth is sealed and filled to prevent further infection. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the patient remains comfortable throughout.
