One endotontist told me to hurry up before it got pus in it and the other told me to leave it alone and see if it settled down after the crown procedure. Quack!

It depends on the situation, sometimes if you already have an acute infection the dentist may give you some antibiotics to start reducing the infection before having the root canal done. Partially this is done because it is pus can interfere with the anesthetic making it harder to get the area numb. Other dentists will open the canal and allow the pus to drain out of the center of the tooth, this relieves the pressure and pain. If you don't have an acute infection then it is best to get it done a.s.a.p. before one occurs, the longer you let things go the worse the prognosis is for the tooth to be retained long term. -RDH

Root canal has to be performed if the dental nerve has died and/or is infected. You may have no pain but still need a root canal treatment. Most common reasons for root canal treatment are bad caries and tooth abrasion at the dentist.

What can you do to help from getting a root canal?

Brush and floss your teeth daily, and see your dentist regularly. If you get small cavities treated before they become too deep, you can avoid needing a root canal. Sometimes, though, the nerve in your tooth just dies and you need a root canal.

Can a person exercise after a root canal?

Rest is Recommended Initially – Avoid exercise for at least 24 hours after a root canal to allow your body to recover. Increased Blood Flow May Cause Discomfort – Physical activity can raise blood pressure, leading to throbbing pain or bleeding in the treated area. Risk of Swelling – Exercising too soon can worsen swelling around the tooth or jaw. Medication Side Effects – Pain relievers or antibiotics may cause drowsiness or dizziness, making exercise unsafe. Listen to Your Body – If you feel fatigued or sore, delay workouts until you're more comfortable. Light Activity May Be Fine After a Day – Gentle walking or stretching after 24 hours is usually okay if there's no pain or swelling. Conclusion: For the safest and most effective post-treatment care, expert guidance is key. FMS Dental in Madinaguda provides precise root canal treatment and personalized aftercare.
