A member asked:
My dentist told me to start taking ibuprofen 3 days before my root canal to help ease the pain of the procedure. is this really going to help ?

Root canal: The ibuprophen will help to control your pain level until you have the root canal. Talk to,your dentist if you have increasing pain or swelling as this would indicate an infection and may need antibiotics.
