Usually 1 day or less depending on what tooth is being treated and how bad the infection is.
You do not need to rest at all. You can go to work.
No rest unless there was a serous infection associated
none
Recovery time is usually immediate after a root canal. The only precaution you should take is to avoid chewing on the tooth that had the root canal for at least a few days.
