FOLLOWING YOUR ENDODONTIC TREATMENT

WHAT SYMPTOMS SHOULD I EXPECT FOLLOWING MY ENDODONTIC TREATMENT?

 

Rest assured, your endodontic treatment was performed with the highest standards of care, using advanced technologies and modern techniques to ensure the best possible outcome.

 

It is absolutely normal to feel some tenderness in the area over the next few days as your body undergoes a natural healing process. You may also feel some tenderness in your jaw from keeping it open for an extended period of time. These symptoms are temporary and usually respond very well to over-the-counter pain medications.

 

Your tooth may continue to feel slightly different from your other teeth for some time after your root canal treatment has been completed.

 

​ΟΔΗΓΙΕΣ ΓΙΑ ΦΡΟΝΤΙΔΑ ΜΕΤΑ ΤΗ ΘΕΡΑΠΕΙΑ

• Wait for Numbness to Wear Off: Avoid eating until the numbness in your mouth is completely gone to prevent accidental biting of your cheek or tongue.

• Avoid Chewing on the Treated Tooth: Do not chew or bite on the treated tooth until it has been fully restored.

• Maintain Regular Oral Care: Brush and floss as usual to keep your mouth clean and promote healing.

• Temporary Filling Care: If a temporary filling was placed, a thin layer may wear away between appointments. If you believe the entire filling has come out, please contact our office.
