After undergoing endodontic therapy, it is important to follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and a successful recovery. Here are key guidelines to follow:
Pain Management: Mild discomfort or swelling may occur for a few days after the procedure. Use prescribed pain medications as directed by Dr. David Abdelmalak at Glendale Endodontics & Microsurgery. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help, but consult with us first.
Oral Hygiene: Continue your regular oral hygiene routine, being gentle around the treated area. Brush and floss carefully to avoid irritation.
Diet: Eat soft foods initially and avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it is fully restored to prevent damage.
Avoid Certain Habits: Refrain from smoking and limit alcohol consumption, as these can interfere with healing.
Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up visits with Dr. Abdelmalak to monitor healing and discuss the next steps in your treatment plan.
Emergency Contact: Contact us immediately at (818) 242-8955 if you experience severe pain, swelling, or any unexpected side effects.
