As long as you can stand the pain without yanking the tooth out yourself! If you are taking antibiotics, the dentist probably wants some infection to be cleared up before he does the root canal therapy. He can also prescribe medication for the pain if he thinks you need it. My dentist always gives me a prescription for pain pills AFTER he drills. The one time I really needed it BEFORE, I used ambesol for several days. The next time I have pain while waiting for a procedure, I'm going to ask for the lortabs or tylenol+ because the ambesol left the tip of my chin numb for several weeks after i quit using it.

I had a root canal on tooth days ago. Still taking strong pain pills and antibiotics. Dentist said he does not know anything else to do. Any suggestions?
First continue taking antibiotics, secondly if the root canal was completed you SHOULD NOT be having any pain at all. If your dentist does not know what else to do, you should search out another dentist that can help you. also if you are in that much pain that you need pain killers, something else could be going on. See another dentist as soon as you can, but stay on the antibiotics to be safe.

What does Root canal minus the Novocain over discussing your feelings mean?

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.
How do you keep an infection out the mouth after a root canal and or crown lengthening has been done?
I would assume antibiotics. After you take antibiotics, though, it is important to take some form of a probiotic to put the 'good bacteria' back up where it needs to be since antibiotics wipe out harmful and helpful bacteria.
