Hello,
Slight inflammation after root canal treatment and scaling is normal which subsides with analgesics. but if your pain still persists, you need to consult a dentist and get it checked.

Is root canal treatment completed? If so there should be no pain. Consult your doctor for the reason. If not completed then continue the treatment.

Hello sir
Don't worry sir. It's normal to have slight pain after root canal treatment. It will be alright within few days. The scaling has nothing to do with infection. Definitely after scaling there will be a new feel which u get just ignore it for some time. And after scaling u must have got some sensitivity problem also so it must have given some discomfort. That can be one reason too. Do the following things:-
1) don't eat from that side where root canal treatment has been done
2) use a sensitivity tooth paste for sometime
3) take the medications for root canal treatment as per the doctor
4) try to ignore the feeling for sometime
5) avoid having too hot and too cold foodstuffs and drinks for 2-3 days
If then also problem remains for more than a week , show to a dentist.hope this will help u.

Hello sir, you can expect some pain/discomfort for a week or so after the root canal treatment if the tooth was badly infected before. The medicines if ur dentist had prescribed should take care of them. Doing scaling after the root canal treatment has nothing to do with reinfection.
