After your root canal treatment, do not eat for at least two hours or until any anesthesia has worn off. Your treated tooth will be sore, so you should avoid hard and chewy foods until discomfort subsides. This typically takes seven to 10 days.
Take all antibiotics and medications as prescribed. If you experience any of the following symptoms, please contact our office:
- A reaction to prescribed medication
- Increasing tenderness or swelling in the area of the treated tooth
- The temporary filling or crown becomes dislodged
- The treated tooth fractures
