How long should i wait after a root canal before going to work?

Immediately: You should not have to wait to return to work after root canal treatment. You may be numb for a while, so be careful not to bite your cheek or lip. Pain should be controlled with over the counter Ibuprofen or acetaminaphen. If you were sedated (general anesthesia or "twilight sleep")during the root canal treatment, you should not drive and probably wait till the next day to return to work.

You need not wait: As long as you didn't have any sedation done (iv, pills, general anesthesia), you should be able to resume your daily activities immediately.
