Root Canal Aftercare Tips: What to Avoid
Some of the things you should NOT do after a root canal include the following:
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your final crown is placed; this can help you avoid fractures.
- Stay away from hard and sticky foods, as they can irritate your tooth.
- Don’t drink from a straw because it can disrupt your blood clot.
- Try not to use tobacco or drink alcohol for at least 48 hours, as it can slow the healing process.
