Got My Root Canal!

I am finally home from getting my root canal done and I am dying to eat. I always avoid eating when it comes to tooth procedures because I am afraid of the anesthetic wearing off. It didn't take very long either thank goodness. My doctor gave me something to help keep my mouth open too which is great in case my mouth got tired of being open.
It wasn't painful because of all the anesthetic and I can't really feel anything now either though the anesthetic hasn't completely worn off either. I need to make an appointment to get a permanent filling. I will update on how the healing goes.
Ask any questions you like.

Oh my goodness, I am so glad to hear it went well. I am waiting (or should I say putting off) making my root canal appointment as I am afraid - alot of people have told me it was super painful. Glad to know yours wasn't. Hoping for a quick recovery for you!

They said that ibuprofen 800mg is best for any pain though it shouldnt hurt past a couple days. No eating for an hour after the procedure and don't eat anything hard or sticky as to let the temp filling set properly.

Benn there, done that. Your mouth may be sore for awhile. Be careful in what you eat. Soft foods. Nothing hard and chewy.
