anyway- i didn't ask the doctor-but- when am i supposed to take out the cotton that is packed in there?
i don't go to get the crown on for another week.

Answers:

Is this cotton packed inside the tooth or is it on the side of your cheek? If it is on the inside of your tooth LEAVE IT THERE!!!!. It is a temporary covering, unitl you go back to have the rest of your treatment done, it is okay if it falls out, everything is sealed that needs to be sealed as along as they finished the root canal, If it is a cotton roll on the side of your cheek, your dentist forgot to take it out, it is used to soak up salivia, not blood, there is usually little to no bleeding when you have a root canal.
