Hello
There can be many reasons for hoarseness of voice including an allergic reaction to the fillings used for root canal and the medications that you may be on.
since you dont have any other symptoms i, i would like you to wait for 2-3 days and just take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. If however your hoarseness persists or worsens , i would like you to meet your ent doctor for examination and further advice.
Thanks
