Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The root canal treatment can be carried out after 4weeks of the delivery. There is no contraindication as such to carry out the root canal treatment. You can get it done, no problem. The main reason after 4 weeks is for the wound healing after delivery.
It is a non surgical procedure so it can be carried out anytime. The only thing what you need to take care is the medicines prescribed during treatment. You need to take after feeding the baby.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Thanks for using health care Magic.
Read your query.
Root canal treatment is not a surgical procedure and can be done after delivery if there are no issues.
Since you have a C-section ,your body will require a little more time to adjust and have the wound healing done. If you have no health issues ,you can go ahead with the treatment. If not you can wait for a few weeks and then have the treatment done.
Inform the dentist about the breast feeding baby, as during breast feeding certain medications are not to be taken.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
