I don't know how long ago this was posted but I had this happen at the end of 2011 - I wen to the endodontist for a lower root canal on a molar. Woke up the next day with bruising from my chin back - freaked out, called the endo and he looked at it and said that he must have "nicked" a blood vessel during anesthesia. It took a full two weeks for my bruising to go away. He also said my case was only the 2nd time he'd had that happen to a patient, which makes me think it was a total screw up on his part (my root canal proceeded to take, not 1, 2, 3, but four visits, so it was a cluster all around). I was told unfortunately that nothing would make the bruising go away sooner - but I'd definitely check with your endo to be sure it's the same circumstance as mine. Feel better and good luck!

Is called a bruise?
A bruise is a contusion. This medical word sounds, and the bruise itself often looks, much more serious than it actually is. A bruise or contusion occurs when small superficial blood vessels are injured, allowing blood to seep into surrounding tissues. If there is no underlying injury, such as a fracture, superficial bruises heal within 7-10 days. If there is trauma or fracture, bruising can linger for weeks to months.
