Are you struggling to pick foodstuffs or drink after a root canal? Do not worry! We will support you with a diet while your jaws are still delicate.

During the surgery, the drugs to numb your jaws wear off, and you may sense some pain in the tooth for a few days. These momentary symptoms can be healed with the medication your dentist has prescribed you. However, it is essential to obey the instructions related to exercises, medications, and food.

Contact your dentist immediately if:

• If you are experiencing extreme discomfort or pain after days of surgery.
• Observable swelling near to the tooth
• Rashes or itching can happen due to an allergic reaction.
• Sore gums

What Not to Eat?
Unable to decide what foods to avoid after a root canal?

5. Avoid spicy food to dodge discomfort in the sensitive area.

Aftercare:

It’s normal to encounter pain or sore gums for a few days. In the long term, you will be satisfied to have made such choices that will have an everlasting effect on your oral health.
