I m undergoing root canal. I need to know when I go to dentist he always change the dressings and apply more medicine inside using a cotton and it tastes like clove and infection is taking a lot of time to cure. What can I do from my side so that it cures faster.?

All that you can do is to take your antibiotics on time without missing any dose

Hi I can say that RCT takes 2-3 sitting but not more than this if you want you can some other dentist for 2nd opinion. Or otherwise you can upload some x rays of your tooth. Then I can tell you exact things. Thank you Cloud 32 dental clinic sector 135 noida

There are times when an infection can take unduly long time to heal...but if you have no pain then completing the treatment should be okk...however u can take a second opinion from a root canal specialist just to restore ur peace of mind....your current dentist may be doing the right thing but its difficult for me to give a correct opinion without a check up and recent xrays...take care

Helo..I don't feel so it takes so much time. Better to post a IOPA x-ray. We can guide you much better after evaluating x-ray & clinically also.
