If you have a severely damaged tooth, your dentist might recommend a root canal. While the procedure itself is nearly painless, some discomfort may occur immediately after.
– The tissue around the tooth may remain tender for a few days after the procedure.
– Certain types of temporary fillings could also cause discomfort.
– Vertical cracks may impede the efficacy of a root canal.
– OTC pain medication (such as acetaminophen) will often help to reduce pain and inflammation.
“In most cases, the sensitivity and discomfort associated with a root canal should go away within a few days.”
