Root Canal Post Op

Dear valued patient,

Congratulations on completing your root canal treatment at Centre Dentaire NP! We want to ensure a smooth recovery process, and here are some essential post-op care instructions to follow:

**1. Manage Discomfort:

It's normal to experience some discomfort after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers, as recommended by your dentist, can help manage any mild pain.

‍

**2. Oral Hygiene is Key:

Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine, but avoid vigorous brushing or flossing around the treated tooth for the first few days. Be gentle to allow for proper healing.

‍

**3. Be Mindful of Eating Habits:

Stick to soft and cool foods for the first few days. Avoid chewing directly on the treated tooth to prevent any unnecessary pressure.

‍

**4. Complete Your Prescribed Medications:

Finish any prescribed antibiotics or medications as directed by your dentist. This helps prevent infection and ensures a successful recovery.

‍

**5. Watch for Signs of Infection:

Keep an eye out for unusual swelling, persistent pain, or any signs of infection. If you notice anything concerning, contact our clinic promptly.

‍

**6. Follow-Up Appointments:

Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to allow our team to monitor your recovery and address any questions or concerns you may have.

‍

**7. Stay Hydrated:

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which promotes overall health and aids in the healing process.

‍

**8. Avoid Tobacco and Alcohol:

Refrain from smoking and limit alcohol consumption during the initial recovery period, as these can interfere with healing.

‍

**9. Rest and Relaxation:

Give your body the time it needs to recover. Adequate rest and relaxation can significantly contribute to a faster healing process.
