If u r not having severe pain then don't go for rct, wait till the lockdown over, but if u r having pain then it depend on area where u r living and how is the spread of covid , but if pain is subsiding with medicine then it's better to avoid the rct,.

Hello, it totally depends on the severity if you are having unbearable severe pain and swelling than at least the rct can be started so that you can feel better and medicines can be prescribed to take care of the further situation. But if the pain is manageable with mild pain killers than for sure it should be avoided for your good as well as your dentist
Thanks
Next Steps
Avoid your visit if pain is not severe
Health Tips
Try not to eat from that side, keep that area clean, brush and rinse with mouthwash well

Better to avoid if possible. RCT is an aerosol generating process which is not advisable by WHO and out Supreme court right now.
Only option you have with you is tooth extraction.
Next Steps
Take medication if you have pain.

Hi,
It is not safe during this period for you and for doctor too.
So if there is no emergency then delay your root canal treatment.
Next Steps
Visit dentist once lockdown is over for treatment
Health Tips
Don't have food from that side and if you have pain then have painkiller.
