Usually it does not, a root canal is generally necessary.
If the tooth is slowly healing it usually resolves within a few months. If the pain is slowly getting worse, it probably will need to have a root canal to get completely out of pain.
It's depends on how the damage of the tooth.
It all depends, no one can predict healing. In general 6 weeks post treatment can be expected.
Usually it doesn't. See your endodontist as soon as possible.
Good Luck
It could take a few days, a few weeks, a few months, or it may never heal. It depends on many factors.
