NON-SURGICAL POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The following is a list of common questions and answers on how to best care for your tooth after root canal treatment. If you have any questions that are not answered below, please call us with any of your concerns. Thanks for choosing our office for your root canal treatment.
IMPORTANT DO’s & DON’Ts:
- Avoid chewing on the treated side of your mouth for the rest of the day. We don’t want you to accidentally bite your cheek or tongue while you are still numb. When you do chew with this tooth, avoid any foods that are hard, crunch or chewy. These kinds of foods may cause the temporary filling to come out, allowing new bacteria into the tooth.
- If the tooth does not have a crown or permanent filling, avoid chewing on that tooth until the crown is placed because you can break the tooth. Your family dentist will place the crown or filling on your tooth. We are not responsible if your tooth breaks prior to receiving the permanent restoration.
- Take any over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication (Advil, Aleve, Motrin, or Ibuprofen) before the numbness wears off. If you cannot take an anti-inflammatory, it is acceptable to take Tylenol.
