Can I Smoke After Undergoing Root Canal Treatment?
I've recently been having a root canal done, I've been through 2 sitting and am 3 weeks away from my next , which will now be sooner because I've seemed to have lose a large section of my tooth where the filling was, am I able to smoke and will it get infected easily?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually smoking does not cause any such harmful effects on the tooth which is undergoing root canal treatment. But in any case it causes harmful effects on your health and to your oral cavity, so better not to go for it.
Hope it will help you.
