Hi, I'm Dr. Craig Anderson.

2
00:00:04.165 --> 00:00:06.165
A question I get around here is,

3
00:00:06.515 --> 00:00:07.965
what will my symptoms be like?

4
00:00:08.145 --> 00:00:10.565
How will I feel after the root canal?

5
00:00:11.505 --> 00:00:13.605
And that can be a tricky question to answer,

6
00:00:13.745 --> 00:00:14.845
but it is a fair question.

7
00:00:15.425 --> 00:00:19.125
And generally speaking, postoperative symptoms,

8
00:00:20.235 --> 00:00:23.085
what you feel like after the root canal is very much

9
00:00:23.085 --> 00:00:26.965
dictated by preoperative symptoms, what you feel like

10
00:00:27.105 --> 00:00:28.245
before the root canal.

11
00:00:29.145 --> 00:00:32.965
So if your symptoms are slight or benign, not a big deal.

12
00:00:33.755 --> 00:00:36.405
Chances are not currently experienced much.

13
00:00:37.345 --> 00:00:40.965
But if you've come in and you've been in pain for weeks,

14
00:00:41.345 --> 00:00:43.445
and you're swollen and you're nauseous

15
00:00:43.665 --> 00:00:44.885
and you haven't been sleeping,

16
00:00:46.145 --> 00:00:47.765
that's not gonna stop on a dime.

17
00:00:48.545 --> 00:00:51.525
But after treatment, as the antibiotics start to work,

18
00:00:51.535 --> 00:00:53.405
which can take basically two days,

19
00:00:54.065 --> 00:00:56.405
you should experience dramatic improvement.
