After Endodontic Treatment

Instructions After Endodontic Treatment

  • Please refrain from eating for at least 2 hours and until the anesthesia has worn off to prevent possible injury to your soft tissue. This will also allow the temporary restorative material to harden.
  •  You will most likely feel soreness in the area as well as pressure when you bite down.  For this reason, you should avoid hard and chewy foods. Do not eat on the treated side of your mouth for at least 24 hours.  The soreness should decrease within a few weeks.
  • Any discomfort is often alleviated by over the counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Alleve, aspirin, or acetaminophen (Tylenol).  Please note:  Alcohol intake is not advised while taking these medications.
  • If antibiotics are prescribed, continue taking them until they are finished.

If you notice any of the following symptoms please contact our office:

  •  Increasing tenderness or swelling in the area surrounding the tooth.
  •  A reaction to the medication.
  • Complete loss of the temporary filling material.
  • Tooth fracture.
