After Treatment

Your endodontic treatment has now been completed. The root canal system has been permanently sealed; however, the outer surface is sealed with a temporary restoration. A follow-up restoration must be placed to protect your tooth against fracture and decay. Call your restorative dentist ASAP for an appointment. A normal time frame to wait in between appointments is 1-2 weeks. A complete report of treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist along with x-rays.

Some cases warrant a follow-up examination to evaluate the progress of healing. This appointment will require only a few minutes and no additional fee will be charged for the visit. 

Your tooth is more prone to fracture immediately after endodontic treatment. You should chew on the other side until your restorative dentist has placed a core build-up and a protective restoration, usually a crown. If your tooth’s strength is seriously compromised, your endodontist or restorative dentist may place a post and core build-up inside the tooth. Your restorative dentist and endodontist will determine the appropriate restoration to best protect your tooth.

A doctor is available for consultation at all times should a problem arise after your treatment.
