After root canal treatment, the pain in the tooth or that area is completely related to the person’s body resistance. People’s sensitivities are not the same. Therefore, while the process after root canal procedure is painless for one patient, it may be somewhat painful for another patient.
Pain is not our expectation in cases where an extra complication does not occur in the root canal treated tooth after the first 24 hours. Suppose we have created a wound site after all. Even if your hand is cut off, there will be sensitivity for the first 24 hours.
When root canal procedure is done in several sessions, there is an opening and closing of the tooth in each session. Every intervention causes a trauma to the dental tissues. Therefore, the less trauma the tooth is exposed to, the less pain will be after root canal treatment. That’s why, the healing process of dental tissues will be more comfortable.
After the root canal procedure, when the patient chews something by pressing on the tooth, there is a sensitivity due to the wound site in the first 24 hours. A simple pain reliever will suffice. Then the person will not feel any pain again.
If you have pain that does not last after the root canal treatment and lasts for 1 week and 10 days, there is a mistake. Therefore, you should immediately consult your dentist again.
