Question

How long does pain last after a root canal?

Answer 1

I just had root canal done couple weeks ago. The pain only lasted couple of hours.  I had a good dentist though because if you don't get the right one it can be a horrible experience. It is best to go to a specialist. I learned my lesson the second time around.  They numbed me up so good I felt nothing.  The first experience was a general dentist and he had no business even doing root canal but I had no idea and it was a HORRID experience.

Answer 2

it takes as long as it takes for everthing to calm down your dentist should give you something for pain. If they do not send you home with something and you are in pain call to get a script.

Answer 3

the pain can last up two six hours  

Answer 4
