Home Care Instructions
- Your tooth and surrounding gum tissue may be slightly tender for several days as a result of manipulation during treatment and previous condition of your tooth. This tenderness is normal and is no cause for alarm.
- Do not chew food on the affected side until your endodontic therapy is completed and your tooth is covered with a permanent restoration provided by your General Dentist.
- You may continue your regular dental hygiene regimen.
- 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 this office immediately.
If any questions or concerns arise after normal business hours, please feel free to contact the location at which your treatment was performed. The Answering service will gather all your information and contact the doctor who is on call.
Please have your pharmacy phone number available in case a prescription needs to be phoned in.
