Root canal surgery is a common procedure that should heal without complications if you keep the following after-care guidelines in mind.

Key takeaways:

– Eat soft non-sticky foods until tenderness goes away and a permanent crown is fitted.

– Brush and floss as often as you’d normally do, but be gentle around the area that’s healing.

– Get a soft-bristled toothbrush so you avoid interfering with the healing process while you brush.

If you have any doubts about the post-op process, don’t hesitate to ask your dentist for advice.

If you notice any problems with your gums or teeth you should always make an appointment to see your dentist as soon as possible:

– Some dental problems can be signs of other conditions such as diabetes or HIV.

– If you have diabetes, this can result in any gum disease being of increased severity and taking longer to heal.

– Your oral health and overall health are linked so it’s important to look after both.

“Your overall health is important and employing a healthy routine is the best way to have a long healthy and happy life.”

When you have persistent bad breath and your dentist has ruled out an oral health issue, you will need to change your oral hygiene and other habits. There are also actions you can take:

– Brush your teeth twice a day, floss regularly and use a mouthwash

– Scrape your tongue (you can buy toothbrushes with scrapers)

– Avoid foods that leave a lingering smell and after-taste

– Chew mint flavoured gum as this will keep your mouth moist

“It’s easy to improve your breath and keep your teeth and gums healthy at the same time.”
