ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
When a patient comes with pain in tooth that has
nerve damage due to an infection or dental decay,
the solution to saving that tooth may lie in
a root canal treatment. To maintain proper
functioning, your tooth does not necessarily need
its nerve, it  has no sensation after the nerve
is removed but it remains fully functional.

as directed in order to prevent any further or
additional infection.

The discomfort you feel after a root canal
treatment can typically be treated with normal
pain killer medicines like combiflame, ketorol.
if you have a intense pain, contact your dentist
immediately.

Keep the area clean
Maintain proper oral hygiene in the area of
treatment. Keep the area very clean. You can do
so by continue to brush and floss regularly and
gently rinsing your mouth.
7
Avoid Certain Foods
Any food that is hard, chewy, or crunchy should
be avoided right after you have a root canal.

Be careful to not put pressure on your infected
tooth
Your tooth can  be very tender after the
treatment. Do not put undue pressure on the
treated tooth. Try not to chew from that side
till root canal is fully completed.

Consider getting a crown for your tooth
Root canal treatment is usually attempted in a
tooth which is grossly damaged and decayed.
Further, after the root canal treatment, the
  tooth becomes brittle like glass due to the 
lack of blood and nerve supply. The tooth can
fracture anytime under heavy masticatory forces.
Hence it is mandatory to put a crown after root
canal treatment in most of the cases to increase
the longevity of the tooth and preventing it from
breakage.
