After Completion of Non-Surgical Endodontic Treatment(RCT)
Your tooth and surrounding gum tissue may be slightly tender for several days as a result of the disease process and manipulation during treatment . This tenderness is normal and is no cause for alarm. Do not chew food on the affected side until your endodontic therapy is completed and your tooth is covered with a protective restoration provided by your restorative dentist. You may continue your regular dental hygiene regimen. Discomfort may be alleviated by taking your preferred over the counter pain killer medication.
NOTE: Alcohol intake is not advised while taking any of these medications. Should you experience discomfort that cannot be controlled with the above listed medications, or should swelling develop, please contact our office immediately.
Instructions for contacting us after hours are found by calling our office, day or night. If you need to call after hours, please have your pharmacy number available.
