How soon after root canal?

I had my root canal done 2 days ago. Now I'm in slight pain but it's normal as far as I know. What I'm worried about is - when will I know if it's been successful? I know some of them fail but how soon after root canal would I know and how would I know it?



Also, how long can I wait till my crown is fitted? My dentist still hasn't contacted me about my appointment as he should. I have a temprorary filling at the moment.

Re: How soon after root canal?

Hi, I had a root canal done on the 9th of feb. My dentist told me that, or the paper he gave me, said that it would take 1 to 2 weeks before the bruising would go away and your tooth to feel normal. My tooth felt better after a week, but it was a painful week. I guess if it doesnt feel good after that, you should probably go back and ask.

As for the crown the paper said I should make another appt to get the crown on between 3 to 4 weeks after, just to make sure. I havent gotten a crown yet and my tooth is fine (and my tooth was a molar).

If you really feel something is wrong, though, you should call your dentist and ask if your symptoms are normal.

Hope you feel better! =)

Re: How soon after root canal?

Thank you for your replies! Pain is gone now and my dentist already made an appointment with me for tomorrow, probably to measure for my crown. (sounds almost like I'm a queen!? ;-) )

I hope it goes well from now on!

Re: How soon after root canal?

wow, exactly what I am going through at this moment. I had my root canal on a front tooth three days ago now and when I bite down it hurts and i have a temp filling in there. A filling fell out of this tooth and the back is almost completely gone. That putty like filling is wearing down so I need to apply some more to keep it filled.

I was also wondering how long I can wait to get my crown. I am glad to hear that I don't need to get it done right away due to money issues. Is there any problem in waiting six to eight weeks? Am I opened up to infection if the temp filling comes out?
