How long does it take for a root canal to stop hurting?

Question

Had a root canal done today.. complete surprise.. went in for a cleaning only!

Anyway I am pregnant so they said I could only take Tylenol. I am curious to know how long I should expect to be in pain.

Answer 1

I would say fine by the morning. The soreness should only be from pressure on you jaw not the actual root canal site because the nerve should be gone. Unless doc messed up.
