hi, thanks for your query.mild swelling and soreness after RCT might be because of over extended filling, improper cleaning of root canals during canals, the diseased tissue may not be completely removed results in re infection.Contact your endodontist right away if you develop any of the following:
a visible swelling inside or outside of your mouth
a return of original symptoms; or
your bite feels uneven.hope this is helpful.
