ROOT CANAL AFTER CARE

If you are searching for a “dentist near me in Utah” for a root canal procedure, Abundant Dental is the most professional and reliable dental office in the area. Our highly trained dentists make the often feared root canal procedure a painless and anxiety free experience. After the procedure, the following after care regimen is suggested by our dentists:

• Avoid chewing and biting on the side of the mouth where the procedure was performed in order to reduce stress on the treated tooth.
• Your dentist will recommend you not to eat for up to 24 hours after the procedure. When you begin eating again, avoid hard, sticky, and crunchy foods as these types of foods can damage the treated tooth and increase chances of infection.
• Brush, floss, and rinse as usual to keep your mouth as clean as possible but be gentle when coming into contact with the treated tooth.
• Take pain medications (over the counter or as prescribed by your dentist) as necessary. Pain, swelling, and soreness should subside after the first few days. Call your dentist right away if you experience any complications.

Any additional aftercare requirements will be discussed prior to your procedure. For further information on root canal procedures, contact Abundant Dental, your trusted dentist in Utah, today.
