Precautions after RCT
(Tooth-Saving Root Canal Treatment)
Treatment Process
- Root canal treatment is not a one-time procedure.
- It usually requires 3–4 visits, though the number of sessions may vary depending on the condition of the tooth.
Eating After Treatment
- The temporary filling material takes about 1 hour to harden.
- Please eat only after the filling has set.
- If the temporary filling or medication comes out, there is a risk of infection—contact the clinic immediately.
Pain & Discomfort
- Some pain or discomfort during and after RCT is normal.
- However, if pain persists continuously after nerve treatment and does not improve, re-treatment (re-RCT) or extraction may be required.
Tooth Fragility
- Teeth that undergo RCT become more brittle and are at a higher risk of cracking.
- To protect the treated tooth, try to chew on the opposite side until further restoration is completed.
Final Restoration
- After completing RCT, it is necessary to place a crown on the tooth to restore strength and preserve function.
- If you experience any additional symptoms after treatment, please visit the clinic for further evaluation.
