Root Canal and Bleaching question?!
Question: Root Canal and Bleaching question?
Answers:
The internal bleaching is part of the root canal procedure. There should not be any additional expenses. It helps to lighten the dead enamel to a more natural shade.
Root canals are long procedures, but as long as you have properly anesthetized you will not feel anything.
You will want to take the rest of the day off to recover from sore muscles (mouth open a long time) and let the anesthetic wear off.

Depending on the vitality of your tooth, a root canal can be painful or pain less. If the tooth is dead, you won't feel a thing. If the tooth is alive, you could feel some discomfort. The Endodontic specialist can prescribe medicines to help with pain.
The bleaching shouldn't hurt since by that time, your tooth is already root canal treated.
