The canal is filled with a rubber-like material to prevent recontamination of the tooth. The tooth is then permanently sealed with a filling, possibly a post and crown when necessary.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider size=”45″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#657e8e” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” video_opacity=”0″ js_vertical_centered=”true” padding_top=”90″ padding_bottom=”90″ section_id=”post-op-instructions” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”36″ force_font_size=”true” size_phone=”32″ font_weight=”bold” margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” align=”center”]Instruction and care of your tooth after root canal (endodontic) therapy[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1592837019474{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]As a result of the infection present in all teeth requiring endodontic therapy and the manipulation during the appointment, your tooth and surrounding gum tissues may be highly irritated and uncomfortable for several days and may take as long as a month to heal. At times the discomfort may worsen a few days after your appointment. In the absence of facial swelling, this discomfort is normal and is no cause for concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pain to biting or chewing on your treated tooth for up to several weeks could be expected \u2013 try to avoid biting or chewing in this area until comfortable. If painful to biting without food present, or if spontaneously very painful or worsening, please contact us as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not eat until the local anesthetic has worn off. Do not chew food on the affected side until your root canal therapy has been completed and your tooth is covered with a protective restoration. You may continue your regular dental hygiene regimen. Be sure to take any antibiotic medication prescribed for you as it will help the area to heal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discomfort may be alleviated by taking pain medication as directed (see below). Should you experience discomfort that cannot be controlled with medications prescribed or should swelling develop, please contact our office immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Endodontic treatment has been completed when the root canal system has been permanently sealed. However, the outer surface is sealed with a temporary restoration. A permanent restoration must be placed within one month to prevent reinfection. To protect your tooth against fracture, a crown is usually required in most cases. Both the filling and crown are separate treatments from the root canal therapy.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”60″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bjm-force-white”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1592837205374{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

For the relief of any discomfort, we recommend:<\/h3>\n
\n

Take 3 Advil (600 mg Ibuprofen) every 4-6 hours as needed.[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”60″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1592837223068{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

For more relief:<\/h3>\n
\n

Add 2 Tylenol (Regular or Extra Strength) in between the Advil doses ( that is, take 2 Tylenol followed 2 hours later by 3 Advil followed 2 hours later by 2 Tylenol followed 2 hours later by 3 Advil\u2026.)[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”60″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1592837150142{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]If unable to take Advil or Aspirin products, take 2 Tylenol (regular or extra strength) every 4-6 hours.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
