A member asked:
Is it possible for me to return to work after a root canal?

Work after dentistry: Yes, you might but depends if you're swollen, have a fever, or have had poor sleep for a few days. If you otherwise feel fine then okay, go back to work.

Yes: Only a small percentage of cases might preclude you from working. But those cases are few and far between.
