Is slight bruising normal after root canal?

More likely from: The injections than the actual rct. Your own dentist can answer that question best. Don't be timid about asking why you have any bruising.

Yes: Yes, but pain to biting or soreness around the tooth, and swelling after two days should be reported to the dentist. Often times there are simple remedies that the dentist can perform to make the problem resolve quickly.
