[|Human|] Hi. My 4 year old daughter just received a root canal to one of her molars. Today is day 3 and her jaw where the procedure was done is swollen and very visible. What could be the cause and how can we treat this? Will this be permanent or will it go away?
[|AI|]  according to me the chances is more of restoration/filling which is done is high, because child won't be able to judge the high point in the restoration during the procedure, you have to visit the dentist and get it corrected. Secondly, it can be due to RCT procedure is not done properly, the root canal filling material is either short in they canal or flown out of the canal. Ask your child not to eat or chew from that side, till its corrected. Give the child lukewarm saline mouth rinse 3-4 times/daily. Give the child soft diet.Don't give hot compression from outside.Don't let the child sleep from the side where is swelling. If the child has unbearable pain, give a painkiller tablet. Swelling is temporary it will go away, not to worry.
