Chill out: cold water may soothe root canal pain
NCT ID NCT07598188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using very cold water (around 2-5°C) to rinse the tooth during a root canal can lower pain after the procedure. Sixty adults with an infected tooth will be randomly assigned to get either room-temperature or cold rinse. Their pain will be checked before the treatment and again at 24 and 48 hours. The goal is to find a simple way to make root canals more comfortable.
