How long after teeth being extracted should i wait for root canals?

Root canal therapy: Root canal therapy is performed on teeth that are still in your mouth. They are not procedures that are performed on the bone or gum tissue. Please speak to your dentist about what the treatment plan is for the restoration of your mouth.

Now...: As soon as you are comfortable after the extraction. The extraction itself has no bearing on the timing of root canal therapy on other teeth
