Endodontics, commonly known as root canal treatment, is a dental procedure used to treat tooth infections or severe decay. Root canal treatment eliminates most of the problems that cause tooth extraction and saves the tooth.

After undergoing endodontic treatment, there are important details to keep in mind.

Avoid consuming any food or drink for the first two hours after your endodontic treatment is finished.

Usually, endodontic treatment requires multiple sessions for optimal results. If you have more than one session of treatment, it is important to avoid using the treated tooth until all sessions are complete. In addition, it is advisable to limit the intake of extremely hot or cold substances to prevent discomfort.

Although your treatment is complete, it is important to be mindful of consuming very hot or cold foods and drinks for a few days to avoid any potential discomfort or toothaches.

After undergoing treatment, oral care becomes a crucial aspect to focus on. Failure to maintain proper oral hygiene can lead to the development of infections or tooth decay in adjacent teeth. For oral care, you can use a toothbrush, dental floss and antiseptic mouthwash.

Although most people may not prioritize the importance of dental floss, it is crucial for effectively removing debris and preventing tooth decay between teeth.
