Pain After Root Canal Treatment: What You Need to Know

Is Pain After Root Canal Normal?

Mild discomfort after root canal treatment is perfectly normal and usually subsides within a few days. The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia and is designed to relieve pain, not cause it.

Managing Post-Treatment Discomfort

Follow these tips to manage any discomfort after your root canal:

• Take prescribed pain medications as directed
• Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the crown is placed
• Eat soft foods for the first few days
• Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
• Maintain gentle oral hygiene around the area
• Contact your dentist if pain persists beyond a week
