ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Root canal treatment usually requires one or two appointments to complete. It is normal to experience soreness around your tooth and gums after treatment and some tenderness at the injection site. You may take ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help alleviate any symptoms. You may also rinse with warm salt water to reduce pain and swelling. However, if symptoms persist or you notice any further swelling, please contact our office.
Occasionally, infection may persist and antibiotics are required to help clear it. If antibiotics are prescribed, it is important to continue taking them until they are all gone, even if all signs and symptoms of infection are gone.
