can i go to work after a root canal
Hey Billie, just a random thought, do you think I could go to work right after a root canal procedure?
Hey! Not a dentist, but from what I understand, it really depends. You might be able to work after the procedure, but some people might want to take the rest of the day off because of the anesthesia. It can make you feel a bit off.
Oh, I see. I didn't think about the anesthesia. Does it take long to wear off?
Yeah, it can. The numbing effect can last for a few hours after the procedure. You probably don't want to be speaking to clients or working on important tasks with half of your face numb, right?
You're right, that definitely wouldn't be a good look for me. What about eating? Any idea about that?
After a root canal, you should probably stick with soft foods and avoid anything hot right after the treatment. The numbing might make it hard for you to feel temperature or chew properly. But remember, speaking to your dentist is the best thing to do for advice!
