How soon after wisdom tooth extraction can you have a root canal?

Wisdom tooth extractions and root canals are not necessarily related to each other. Patients who need both wisdom tooth extractions and root canals need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Generally, root canal treatment is performed 7 to 14 days after wisdom tooth extraction. 1. If the tooth that needs root canal treatment is the neighboring tooth from which the wisdom tooth was extracted, it is generally necessary to wait until the wisdom tooth extraction socket has basically healed before performing root canal treatment. 2. Because extraction is an invasive operation, it is very likely to cause infection after the operation, and if the infection spreads to the neighboring teeth, it will make the treatment of the neighboring teeth more difficult. Therefore, it is usually necessary to remove the stitches after 14 days. 3. If the tooth that needs root canal treatment is not the neighboring tooth from which the wisdom tooth was extracted, it usually takes about 7 days after the wisdom tooth is extracted, which does not affect the opening of the mouth for root canal treatment. How long after wisdom tooth extraction can do root canal treatment needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If you have any discomfort, please consult your doctor promptly.
