POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS
(Root Canals)
Remember for the three to four days following the surgery:
Avoid both hard and sticky foods (especially gum).
Chew on the opposite side of your mouth.
Don’t drink alcoholic beverages.
Don’t smoke for at least 4-5 days (this may cause dry sockets).
Rinse three times a day with warm salt water -- preferably after meals.
Standard root canal therapy can often take two or more appointments to complete. Temporary fillings or crowns are placed by your dental specialist to protect your tooth. It’s important that you are attentive of your temporary fillings/crowns. It’s normal for a small portion of your filling to wear away or break off; however, if the entire crown or filling comes off, call your dental specialist so it can be replaced.
It’s common for patients to experience mild discomfort for one to two days; activities like chewing could result in discomfort for several days after the procedure. To combat this discomfort, pain medication may be prescribed. If your dental specialist prescribes antibiotics, follow your doctor’s indicated instructions.
