During the procedure, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth with local anesthesia to reduce any pain or discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage any discomfort following your treatment. In some cases, there may be some temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, pressure, or biting, but this should subside within a few days to a week. Contact your dentist for a follow-up appointment if the discomfort persists or becomes severe.
