I just had my root canal done yesterday, but my tooth per se doesn’t hurt, it’s only when I accidentally chew on it or bite down on it that it hurts.
But there is no pain at all when I don’t do anything on the teeth, it’s only when I bite down.
I will get my crown in 2 weeks, so can I eat hard food before then? Or should I wait to eat any steak, burgers etc before then?
It is not uncommon for a tooth to be sore for even a couple of weeks after a root canal. Avoid chewing on it if you can so that it will have a rest. If it has not gotten any better when you are scheduled for the permanent crown, I would be a little more concerned. Good luck.
Running Bull,I too have had several root canals,I suggest that you chew on the other side,sometimes it helps to heal it with using some warm water and adding a teaspoon of salt to it and then mix it up and swish it around your mouth,the salt helps to take the soreness out,hope this is of some help to you,Tomb Raider.
