Following Today's Treatment...
It is possible that your tooth will be sore for a few days. There is no cause for alarm since this is a perfectly normal reaction. Any over-the-counter pain medication should be adequate to control your discomfort. Should you experience swelling or excessive pain please contact the office. Discomfort following treatment in no way affects the successful outcome of this procedure.
It is normal for a thin layer of the temporary restoration to be worn away between appointments. We suggest that you try to avoid chewing on this tooth until the root canal treatment has been completed. You can brush your teeth normally, the temporary filling will not be affected. Should the filling come out, or if you are in doubt, call the office. Following completion of the root canal you will have to return to your regular dentist for a permanent restoration.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your treatment please do not hesitate to call the office at any time.
