Avoid chewing on the treated side until the numbness wears off. If the tooth has a temporary filling or is waiting for a crown, avoid very hard or sticky foods.
Mild soreness, jaw fatigue, or tenderness around the treated tooth can happen early on. Many patients do well with routine pain relief and a quieter day.
Most patients return to work, school, or regular routines the same day or the next day, depending on how painful the tooth was before treatment.
Pain relief often begins quickly once the infected pulp has been treated. Tenderness with pressure may take several days to settle. If a crown is needed, the final phase of treatment continues until the tooth is fully restored.
Call if you have worsening swelling, fever, a crack in the temporary restoration, severe bite pain, or symptoms that do not improve.
TESTIMONIALS FROM
REAL PATIENTS
"Awesome experience. Competent and professional staff. I was a first timer with them for a root canal that that went super smooth with little discomfort." - B.G.
"The staff was kind and helpful. Dr. Gankin did a root canal on a very, old tooth with an existing crown on it. I figured for sure I was a goner and I'd lose that tooth. Well...let me say that he did a " kick ass" job. He gave me enough novacaine, I wasn't in any pain. The procedure was fast, and painless, and I healed up nicely. If you EVER , EVER , need a root canal...he's your man...thank you again Dr. GANKIN...AND thnx to his Great Staff.. - R.L.
"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mikhail, Shannon, and their amazing team!I came in for a root canal expecting the worst, but the entire experience was absolutely painless from start to finish. They explained everything clearly, made me feel completely comfortable, and their professionalism was top-notch.The office is welcoming, the staff is kind and attentive, and the quality of care is outstanding.
