Homecare Instructions

Endodontic treatment has now been completed. The root canal system has been permanently sealed. However, the outer surface is sealed with a temporary restoration. A follow-up restoration must be placed to protect your tooth against fracture and decay. Please telephone your restorative dentist for an appointment. A complete report of treatment will be sent to your restorative
dentist. Included in your treatment is a follow-up examination to evaluate the progress of healing.

This appointment will require only a few minutes and no additional fee will be charged for the first check-up visit. Our office will mail you a post card advising you when to call to schedule for your follow-up visit (usually 6-12 months after treatment has been completed).

Discomfort

Discomfort may be alleviated by taking ibuprofen (Advil), aspirin, or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed. NOTE: Alcohol intake is not advised while taking any of these medications. Should you experience discomfort that cannot be controlled with the above listed medications, or should swelling develop, please contact our office immediately.
