What Signs of Discomfort or Pain are Normal During Root Canal Recovery?

Following a root canal, it is normal to experience mild soreness, tenderness, or a dull ache as the anesthesia wears off. You may also notice mild swelling, which typically peaks at 48 hours and begins to subside by the third or fourth day. Additionally, the treated tooth may be sensitive to pressure or temperature, though this sensitivity should fade within the first week. Most patients feel that this discomfort is manageable and temporary, with symptoms usually improving significantly after the first few days.
