Hello,
Pain can last upto 3 days. If your pain lasts even after that than probably you will have to go for RCT.
Next Steps
Please visit your dentist in case the pain persists.

Pulp capping is a very common procedure and is safeguarding your tooth against root canal treatment. Pain which is present should curtail within a day. If not follow up with your dentist
