Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp within a tooth, alleviates pain, and preserves the tooth’s natural structure. It’s a highly effective method in preventing tooth extraction, which can often lead to further complications and costs. Choosing root canal treatment gives your natural tooth a second chance at health and functionality.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
After your root canal treatment, following our post-treatment care instructions is essential. We provide comprehensive guidance on oral hygiene practices and temporary adjustments, if required, to ensure a smooth recovery. After undergoing a root canal treatment, it’s crucial to follow these post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery:
- Avoid eating until the numbness in your mouth wears off to prevent biting your cheek or tongue.
Try to chew on the opposite side of the treated tooth to avoid any discomfort. - Maintain a soft food diet for a few days after the treatment. Gradually reintroduce harder foods into your diet.
- Ensure proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. But be gentle around the treated area.
- Use an over-the-counter pain reliever if you experience mild discomfort or swelling. If the pain persists, don’t hesitate to contact us.
- Keep up with your regular dental check-ups so we can monitor the treated tooth.
- Contact us immediately if you experience severe pain or swelling or if your bite feels uneven.
- Dental decay that is deep enough to damage the tooth pulp tissue.
- Fractured teeth showing symptoms
- Chipped teeth which exposes pulp tissue
- Trauma to teeth
- Prolonged dental sensitivity
- Severe gum infection
- Brush your teeth two times a day and floss once a day
- Gargle with water after every meal.
- Brush and keep the area around the root canal treated tooth to avoid food accumulation.
- Avoid eating sticky foods and hard substances with the root canal treated tooth.
- Visit your dentist regularly every 6 months for a routine dental check up.
