A.
In the care of a good dentist who can anaesthetise your tooth correctly, root canal treatment is usually painless. If this treatment has been advised then you should do something quickly as problems can get much worse and you may end up losing the tooth. Maybe get a second opinion if you have lost confidence in the dentist. I advise all my patients who need root canal treatment to see our own root canal specialist – our Endodontist – to get the best result possible

how long does the pain last after having root canel treatment as the pain seems to be getting worse,
If it is getting worse go back to see your dentist
