Many people avoid root canals because they are afraid of the pain. In reality, any pain that people experience from a root canal is from the infected tooth. The procedure itself is painless. Root canals have improved drastically over time, and contrary to popular belief, a root canal is no more painful than a filling.
If you do have pain after your root canal, it usually peaks 12 to 24 hours after the procedure. Keep your head elevated while sleeping for the first couple of nights and take whatever pain medication that your dentist recommends.
