It is important to take the following precautions when undergoing a root canal treatment
- Wait for the anesthesia to wear off before starting to chew. The anesthesia normally lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
- Do not chew hard foods (peanuts, almonds, chewy foods, etc.) during the time between the root canal treatment and the final reconstruction of the tooth.
- Be very careful when flossing to prevent the putty from coming out, considering that a temporary cement (putty) is used.
- The medication (analgesic-anti-inflammatory) must be followed to the letter, following the schedules detailed in the prescription.
- Do not consume alcoholic beverages during the medication period.
Remember that if you have any discomfort in any tooth, visit the Odontoking dental clinic, where we provide the care that your smile deserves!
