<human>: Hi, I had root canal therapy 2 days ago. I have slight swelling above the canine tooth that was treated, that extends up to an inch below my eye. I am on amox antobiotics.  No pain....Is this normal? I spoke to my dentist yesterday morning and he said he wasnt surprised, and to keep taking antibiotics...
<bot>: Helloo...read through your query....slight swelling after root canal treatment is usual...its just sign of inflammation due to instrumenting etc...nothing to worry.continue antibiotics prescribed by your dentist(its perfect).after a week it will be reduced...do salt water gargle.and don't bite in that area for few days till a crown is placed...and be happy and cool...hope your benefitted something by my reply .have a healthy day!!!
