Caring for Your Teeth at Home After Treatment
After endodontic treatment, it is common for your tooth and the surrounding gum tissue to feel slightly tender for several days. This tenderness is normal and often related to the condition of the tooth before treatment as well as the natural healing process that follows. Most patients notice gradual improvement each day.
Our goal is to help you heal comfortably while protecting the treated tooth. Following these instructions can help reduce discomfort, prevent complications, and support successful healing until your restorative dentist places the final restoration.
