Summary
A root tip resection is not a pleasant procedure and is often associated with pain. During the procedure, you will hardly notice anything at first, but at home, when the anesthesia wears off, the pain continues to surface. However, this is part of normal wound healing and should subside after a few days.
If the pain does not subside during this period, complications may have occurred, which should be checked. But even if everything seems to go smoothly, pain can still occur years after the procedure, which is usually a sign of renewed inflammation. Here too, quick treatment is advisable. In spite of the more complicated procedure and the inconvenience it involves, a root tip resection is worthwhile in many cases and leads to the preservation of the natural tooth.
