After Endodontic Treatment
Endodontic treatment has now been completed. 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 telephone your restorative dentist for an appointment within one month of your completed root canal. A complete report of treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. Included in your treatment is a follow-up examination to evaluate the progress of healing. This appointment will require only a few minutes and no additional fee will be charged for the first check-up visit. Please call for an appointment during the following month.
If you can take ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen sodium (Aleve), it does help reduce inflammation when taken after treatment. We recommend 2 tablets of either medication 2-4 hours after endodontic therapy.
