How to Recover Quickly After Root Canal Treatment

Many people avoid getting root canals because they are afraid of the pain. While root canals have historically been very painful, modern dentistry has made this procedure much more comfortable. However, it’s still important to take care of yourself after you have a root canal so you can recover without complications. Follow these tips after your root canal and you will feel better in no time.

Take Time to Rest

Today’s root canals require less downtime than root canals in the past. While you probably won’t need to take multiple days off school or work after a root canal, you might want to rest for a few hours following your procedure. This will allow your sedation to wear off and help to accelerate your healing. Make sure to take pain relievers as well to keep you comfortable.

Choose the Right Foods and Beverages

While you probably won’t experience intense pain following your root canal, you will most likely experience soreness. Avoid hard, crunchy, and sticky foods following your procedure to reduce soreness and help the site heal. Limit hot beverages, as well as these, can irritate your mouth.

Maintain Your Oral Care Routine

You will be able to brush your teeth normally following your root canal, but you should take extra care and brush gently. Talk to your dentist or oral surgeon about your dental care routine so they can make recommendations after your root canal.
