Dental Pain?

1 ⤊

I have had a root canal done today on one of my top molars. I am in pain how long will this last. It is my jaw on one side that hurts.

You'll probably be sore for 24-48 hours. Take some Ibuprofen (800mg) every 6-8 hours. That should help

Your jaw may hurt from having to have it wide open for so long. Give it a day or so, if the pain gets worse, call your dentist.

Got to Walgreens.
Buy Wal-proxen and Oragel (jel) or Oragel (liquid).
Use these. Use ONLY as directed.
I just had a root canal too.
