Tips & Warnings

Modern root canal treatments typically result in minimal pain. However, you are likely to experience some swelling and discomfort for a few hours or days after the treatment. Follow these tips to alleviate the pain from root canal.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Treat the root canal pain with ibuprofen. Most dentists recommend that you take a high dose of ibuprofen to relieve the inflammation and pain associated with the procedure.

   • 2

     Ask for a prescription-strength pain reliever. If a dentist wants to make sure you don't suffer from root canal pain, she may give you a prescription for pain medicine.

   • 3

     Use Orajel. Orajel is an over-the-counter gel that can temporarily numb the painful areas within your mouth.

   • 4

     As soon as you get home, put an ice pack on the treated area. This will numb the area and reduce swelling.

   • 5

     Eat a soft diet. For the first few days after a root canal, eat only soft foods. Hard and crunchy foods can irritate the area and cause pain.

   • 6

     Contact your dentist if the pain does not subside. Pain that is persistent can be a sign of an infection.

• You should eat on the opposite side of your mouth for a few days after the procedure. This will protect the area.

• Avoid smoking for at least the first day. Smoking can delay healing
