Post-Root Canal Care Instructions

After undergoing root canal treatment, refrain from eating for at least 2 hours, or until the anesthesia has worn off. It is normal to experience some soreness following the procedure; therefore, avoid chewing on hard or chewy foods until the discomfort has diminished. This usually occurs within 7 to 10 days.

Take all prescribed antibiotics and medications as directed. If you notice any of the following concerns, contact our office promptly:

  • An adverse reaction to prescribed medication
  • Increased tenderness or swelling near the treated area
  • A temporary filling or crown becomes loose or dislodged
  • Any signs of the treated tooth becoming fractured
