Discomfort can usually be alleviated by taking Aleve, ibuprofen (Advil), aspirin, or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed. Warm salt water rinses (1/2 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of water) may also help. Should you experience discomfort that cannot be controlled with the above medications or should swelling develop, please contact our office. ________The treatment on your tooth is not complete. It is essential for you to return to our office for further treatment. Do not eat anything for the first hour following the procedure and then eat soft foods only for the rest of the day. It is advisable to chew on the opposite side until treatment is completed. Even if you were not experiencing any discomfort prior to treatment, it is normal for you to experience some degree of discomfort for a few days. This tenderness is normal and is no cause for alarm. Your tooth has a temporary filling in place to maintain a seal between the inside and the outside of your tooth. Should this filling come out please contact the office. If you cannot reach the office, “temporary filling material” can be purchased at Wal-Mart or most drug stores. ________Your root canal is now completed. The canal or canals have been sealed and nature must now have time to repair the damage that the original irritant produced. Do not chew on the tooth until all the tenderness is gone. This tenderness may last a few days to a few weeks. _______Temporary filling: Although the roots are permanently sealed, the outer surface is filled with temporary cement which is hard and may last for many weeks. Please contact your regular dentist within a few weeks to restore this tooth permanently. A final restoration (crown, onlay, filling) will give this tooth its necessary protection. Failure to take this necessary step may result in an unfavorable outcome such as tooth fracture or compromise of the root canal. A letter and a copy of your final radiographs will be sent to your general dentist. _______Permanent filling/ Coronal Coverage Required: We have placed a permanent filling in your tooth. The inside of you tooth is permanently sealed; however, the tooth now requires a crown to give this tooth its necessary protection. Please contact your regular dentist within a few weeks to restore this tooth permanently. Failure to take this necessary step may result in an unfavorable outcome such as tooth fracture. A letter and a copy of your final radiographs will be sent to your general dentist. _______Permanent filling: We have placed a permanent filling in your tooth. This tooth requires no further treatment at this time a letter and a copy of your final radiographs will be sent to your general dentist. Thank you for allowing us to treat your Endodontic needs!
