Endodontic Procedure Aftercare
Local anesthesia administered during your treatment will help to minimize discomfort immediately after your appointment. Depending on the extent of your procedure, you can expect mild to moderate soreness or tenderness after your visit.
However, these minor side effects should be easy to manage with over-the-counter pain medication. You may also be instructed to avoid eating hard or sticky foods with the treated area of your mouth while you heal. Some foods we recommend include smoothies, apple sauce, and yogurt. If you have had oral sedation, you will be able to eat as soon as the sedation wears off and you feel hungry.
