What to Expect with Recovery

Your dentist will explain what to expect before your procedure. You should anticipate feeling some soreness over the days following your root canal treatment, Cunningham Road, especially as the local anaesthetic wears off. Typically, there will be some discomfort at the site of the root canal, as well as general jaw soreness as a result of having your mouth open for the duration of the procedure.

If you’ve been provided with pain medication, it may help prevent discomfort while you heal.
