I was wondering, for a root canal , I went last week for the first part. Usually you get a rubber dam, a shot and such but this time since my tooth was so dead they told me i did not need the shot and they would start drilling and i wouldnt feel a thing. They drilled, got the puss out, suctioned and what not. Im going back on the 31st for the second visit im guessing for a cap? What will they do now? Will i need a shot this time or..?
Hello and welcome, since you do not have pain in your first visit while removing pulp tissue which is non-vital, you will not get pain in your following visits too.in case of root canal treatment, more chance of getting pain is in first visit, ie, while removing pulp in the canal. Since the tooth is non-vital, in next visit, biomechanical preparation using k-and h-files and cleaning and shaping of canals using saline-sodium hypochlorite solution has to be done. Then after Chat Doctor. Take complete antibiotics-analgesics course. Regards
