Yes, it is. Frequently, the ligament that holds the tooth in the bone gets irritated, at that's frequently what is actually sore. And a tooth that's just had root canal therapy can be sore for up to a year. If you're able to take an anti-inflammatory (like Ibuprofen or Aleve), please do so according to the instructions on the bottle. If you have any concerns or questions, please ask the dentist who did it.
Definitely
Yes,
Can happen and should diminish about 7-10 days.
Depends the condition of the tooth.
Sometimes may need antibiotic ..
Thankfully, most root canals are comfortable during treatment and after however, we still get some tough sick teeth that need non-surgical root canal treatment. Yes it’s possible to have sensitivity early on after root canal treatment. We ask our patients to “participate in your care” and please report any symptoms directly us/to your doctor. They know how’s your tooth looked pre-treatment and can advise you specifically.
