When I got my bottom left wisdom tooth pulled, and a molar pulled I left the dentist office with a prescription for 25 5mg percocet which I took 1 every four hours. Usually, they give you vicodin but I requested percocet because it is stronger. You can also request a non-narcotic pain killer which I have been told works just as good as the narcotic kind. Another option is to use over the counter medications such as Tylenol or ibuprofen.

How painful is a root canal on a scale of 1 to 10?
Pain depends on the severity of the infection, the depth of the root canal, the "skill" of the dentist, and your pain threshold. There's lots of factors in a root canal which can increase/decrease pain. I've personally had three root canals. At some points during, it is not comfortable at all. I've never felt pain during any of my root canals, probably because of the anasthetic which is used. In my last root canal I had a small ache afterwards for two days, which I'd pitch at around 2 out of 10.
Can you get dry socket from a root canal?
No. By definition, a 'dry socket' is a painful condition that occurs following a tooth extraction, not a root canal. That is not to say that you cannot have pain following a root canal. You can, particularly if the tooth was acutely infected at the time of the root canal, or if the root canal is incomplete. You should consult with the dentist who performed the procedure and follow his/her recommendations.

Why does it hurt when i oprn my mouth yo eat 5 days after root canal - no pain right after root canal - the pain is on the same side i had the root canal but it doesnt hurt near the tooth?
Many times when the canal was deep and infected the dentist will use special files to widen the canal. This is essentially removing tissue from the tooth. this can cause the gums to be sore. Now if the root was not all removed you would feel pain in the exact tooth. thanks for reading.. Http://www.BrowardDDS.com is my Dental website.

What is the best way to treat tooth pain because you need a root canal?
Oil of Cloves is one of the best substances for relieving nerve pain from the tooth root. You need the kind from a pharmacy though, not a supermarket. In the end though, a root canal is going to be your best option. If you let it go, you could wind up with a lot more damage, pain, and eventual increased costs to fix it if it gets worse.
