I had a root canal last Halloween. I got a temporary crown a day later
(this time I've got the appointments back to back, same day - whew!). I
took generic ibuprofen (the equivalent of 600 mgs, which is akin to
prescription strength Advil) for a day or so afterwards. It was a dull
ache but didn't require anything stronger. I do recall being reluctant
to chew on that side until I got the permanent crown.

Now I get to do it all over again on the molar just above. Yes, I think
I'll make some cream of broccoli with cheese soup and puree it using my
stick blender.
