Your tooth and surrounding gum tissue may be slightly tender for several days as a result of manipulation during treatment and previous condition of your tooth.

This tenderness is normal and is no cause for alarm. 

​

The root canal system has been permanently sealed.

However, the outer surface is sealed with a temporary restoration.

A follow-up restoration must be placed to protect your tooth against fracture and decay. 

 

• Please go back to your dentist for follow up restoration.

• Until the tooth is restored permanently, do not use the affected side to chew food.

• Continue your regular dental hygiene regimen.

• Discomfort may be alleviated by taking ibuprofen (Advil), aspirin, or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed. 

​

All the treatments include any necessary follow-up exams or recalls at no additional fee to the patient.

 

Recall exams are very important to evaluate the progress of healing.
