After a root canal procedure, it is normal to experience some discomfort in the treated area for a few days. However you could take ibuprofen or Tylenol to alleviate the discomfort. Remember, just like any other part of your body that has wound your mouth all needs time to heal.
Normally you are sore for 1-2 days, should not have any pain. But to completely heal and if there is infection, it will take a week to heal.
If you are having pain you need to call your dental office right away. We gladly work in any patient with pain. Getting patients out of pain and making them healthy and happy is our goal. Please call 409-935-2111 to make an appointment, or stop in and speak to our front desk staff to be seen by our doctor.
it's normal for your tooth to be tender for about a week after a root canal.
