Root Canal Treatment
A root canal can save a tooth that might otherwise be lost, restoring both function and comfort. Once the procedure is complete, proper aftercare is essential to help your tooth heal and to protect the results for the long term.
Following your dentist’s advice can make a significant difference in your recovery and help you avoid any unnecessary discomfort or complications.
Caring for Your Tooth Post-Treatment
After a root canal, your tooth will often be fitted with a temporary filling or crown until a permanent restoration is placed. To support healing and protect the area:
- Avoid chewing on the affected area until your permanent crown or filling is in place.
- Maintain gentle brushing and flossing around the area to keep it clean.
- Take any prescribed medication as directed to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress and complete the restoration process.
If you notice swelling, severe pain or signs of infection, contact your dentist promptly for advice.
