A member asked:

Is it safe to drive after a root canal treatment (molar #13)? i got referred to an endodontist that is approximately an hour + drive from my home. or should i find someone to drive me ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe: For most people this should not be a problem. If you are concerned/aprehensive, feel that you might be distracted as the anesthesia wears off, just want someone to help you unwind, reach out to a friend or family member to accompany you. But gen really speaking you should be just fine.
