A member asked:
What to do if i got my antibiotics to feel better. also whatever the endodontics does will it require down time or is it just a simple procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finish all: Antibiotics. A root canal should not be much different from getting a filling. During the procedure you should not feel anything. Sometimes there can be a flare up afterwards, but typically you will be given medication if the endodontist suspects it will be an issue.
