Root canal and mikveh
08/04/2024

Question

I will be going for a root canal today but it’s the first of 4 appointments. I know I will have to go to the mikvah at some point in the process. Will this be considered a chatzitza?

Answer

Usually temporary fillings are used until the permanent crown is set on the tooth. You may immerse with a temporary filling as long as it is scheduled to remain in place for at least seven days following immersion.
Please feel free to get back to us with any further questions.
Refuah shleimah!
