I've only had one root canal done, but as far as I know you definately should not close that up before the infection is gone. This is why when you first have the root canal drilled, the dentist does not put a filling in right away. The first visit is to clean it out, then they give you antibiotics, and then you go back f/ the filling. If I was you I wouldn't get the crown until the infection is gone, and I would think any good dentist would tell you that.
Reply:well funny thing is i just got my first root canal ever last month. You need to expect it to hurt. I was in a lot of pain before i got my root canal, now that its done and over with i feel so much better, so thats what you need to think about. i was getting a tiny infection and my dentist prescribed me anibiotics. They really helped, so maybe you should talk to him about it. You have to get a crown put on, so just get it done and over with, expect pain, but its worth it and will feel better in a few days. just take ibuprofen if your in pain. it worked for me, good luck! youll be fine
Reply:I have had much dental work done and one thing I know for sure.. you must not do any further treatment in your mouth until the infection has cleared up. Good luck.
Reply:As one who has had 7 root canals, surgery, etc I would say do not get crown until ALL infection is gone, period.





Get temporary, ask about antibiotics salves at dentist and script afterwards but wait,,,,,,,infection after crown is in is not fun
