You will still be able to feel toothache for about another 3 days – why?
Well, this is because the dentist cleans the inside of the tooth using special instruments which are long and may irritate the bone at the tip of the root (red). This makes you feel a toothache for about another 3 days – so it isn´t a root canal pain.
When might it be necessary to go to your dentist again? Well, if the pain intensifies and/or starts to throb instead of being dull and/or if you develop a fever/swelling.
