Had a root canal today. I am going away on Monday and wanted to get this done by the guy I trust instead of doing it in another state. Honestly it was quick as hell compared to my last one. He told me I had the root canal just in time because there was hardly any bleeding in the tooth ( what does that even mean btw? ). No calcification. No curved roots. Just 3 canals. No abscess at the root tip. It was just a very deep cavity that has been bothering me on and off that he filled 2 years ago. He was basically done in 20 mins.
The last one I had 2 years ago by him took over an hour. It was abscessed. Calcified. 4 Canals. Curved roots. And that was before I even had the appointment to perm seal it!.. I could not believe he was done so quickly today
He told me he wants to fill it up with the perm filling when I come back with the gutta percha, next monday .. so a little over a week. He put some stuff in the tooth and put a temp that cures by itself. He said its pretty strong. Also, I am on antibiotics now for a week.
Question? A little over a week is alright to wait to finish this right? It should hold? I remember last time I had 3 appointments and it held for 2 weeks no problem. Thanks guys..
I was a little worried about flying for 2 hours with it unfinished but he said that whatever he put in there stops air, who knows. I trust the guy. If not, I'll deal.
Been about 10 hours now. Not really any pain, just sore. Tooth is sore. Pretty sure thats normal. Been taking advil to be safe
