My husband had a root canal done on Thursday he's in alot of pain still from it . he has temporary filling now in that specific tooth. Is he supposed to be in that much pain? Should he stay away from certain foods until he gets the tooth filled?

Dr. Marcarian: It is normal to have some dicomfort after root canal treatment.  It is best to follow up with the doctor who did the treatment.  As far as food, he can have his regular diet, and just avoid chewing on the side that was treated.
