It's possible to experience some discomfort or pain during and after a root canal treatment (RCT), especially if there is an infection present. The level of pain can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the infection, your pain tolerance, and the effectiveness of the anesthetic used during the procedure.
During the actual RCT procedure, your dentist or endodontist will numb the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic, so you shouldn't feel any pain while they work on the tooth itself. However, if there is a significant infection or inflammation, you might feel some discomfort or pressure as they clean and disinfect the root canals.
After the RCT, you might experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days. This is normal and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and by following your dentist's post-operative care instructions.
If you're experiencing persistent or increasing pain after an RCT, it could indicate a problem such as persistent infection, a missed canal, or other complications. In such cases, it's important to contact your dentist or endodontist to have the situation evaluated. They will be able to determine the cause of the pain and recommend appropriate treatment.
Keep in mind that while some discomfort can be expected, severe or worsening pain is not typical and should be addressed promptly by a dental professional.
