A typical root canal takes about a half hour in the chair. Afterward, you may need pain medication for a day or two. Drainage from the disgusting stuff that has built up around the infected root can take up to about a week or so. You may be on antibiotics for about a week in some cases. After the drainage stops, you will see a dentist who will put a filling in the canal site. Good news - you keep the tooth and have no more agony there. Bad news - the tooth is basically dead but can remain stable for many years.

∙ 10y agoDuring a root canal a person's tooth pulp is removed. The patient will be numbed and/or sedated. Then a hole is made in the back of the tooth and the diseased pulp removed. It is important for the dentist to then measure the canal to make sure it is all thoroughly cleaned.
