The pain may be gone, however an infection could still be there. If you are taking antibiotics, you should finish the full course. A follow-up dental visit along with a radiograph (x-ray) is a good idea. If you have done all this already and have no pain or symptoms, then the infection is probably gone. No symptoms for a long period of time is the best way to know for sure.

What are consequences of getting your root canal therapy?
If your tooth needs a root canal and is not painful, then it must be a dead tooth. When a tooth is dead, it is a source of infection which is not good. It is possible that it could hurt in the future due to infection. Better to have the root canal done, because you're trying to save your tooth. If you don't have the root canal treatment done and your tooth continues to decay, the dentist might have to pull that tooth out in the future. Once you pull out your tooth, that's gone forever
Can your molar tooth grow back?

Can I have my tooth extracted if I have an absess below tooth. One dentist says ok another says the infection would have to clear first or could be dangerous to remove. Any advice please?
I had a friend with a similar problem and his dentist told him he had to wait until the infection was gone because it is very dangerous to operate on an absess tooth. It may be painful now but eventually it will be over and if you risk it and do the operation too soon it could result in worse pain than before. My friends dentist told him removing an absess tooth can actually kill you from infection and whatever else.

Does the tooth fairy come on holidays or when your gone?

How can you get to write a tooth fairy note to the tooth fairy?
When you lose a tooth, write a note to the tooth fairy and put it under your pillow or with your tooth. By morning, your tooth will be gone, money or a little gift could be there instead , and your note will answered! (that's if you asked a question)
Should you stop putting eyeliner on your waterline if a stye formed?
Yes. At least until the stye is gone..the oils in the eyeliner can get into it and cause it to get even more of an infection and will take longer to heal.

One had a root canal two days ago after it hurt really bad the doctor said to wait to let the tooth calm down now the tooth doesn't hurt but there is a lump in the gums is that a good sign or bad?
It is normal for a root canal treated tooth to hurt for initial few days, when it comes to in contact with the other tooth, like chewing. But a lump in gums can be indicative of some underlying infections. To make sure of this you need to have a periapical radiograph (x ray). Once the x ray is taken, your dentist can tell if it has any chances of infection or not. If any infection found, than you will be prescribed with antibiotics. After completing antibiotic course another x ray will be taken to make sure the infection is gone.
