Hi, I had root canal therapy 2 days ago. I have slight swelling above the canine tooth that was treated, that extends up to an inch below my eye. I am on amox antobiotics.  No pain....Is this normal? I spoke to my dentist yesterday morning and he said he wasnt surprised, and to keep taking antibiotics...
Helloo...read through your query....slight swelling after root canal treatment is usual...its just sign of inflammation due to instrumenting etc...nothing to worry.continue antibiotics prescribed by your dentist(its perfect).after a week it will be reduced...do salt water gargle.and don't bite in that area for few days till a crown is placed...and be happy and cool...hope your benefitted something by my reply .have a healthy day!!!
