Could Discomfort In Cheek And Eyes Be Due To Root Canal?
I had a root canal on tooth number 3 in December. After a round of antibiotics, I still felt discomfort in my right cheek. It gradually spread to my right eye and around to my temple. Could this be a residual result of the root canal that requires another set of antibiotics?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have discomfort in cheek and eye after root canl dont worry discomft can not be due to root canal treatment it can be due to feeling of heaviness or numbness of anaesthesia given during treatment .
Wait for atleast 24 hours then if still feels uncomfortable then consult dentist again .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Hope this will help you.
