How long can I eat after root canal therapy? After root canal treatment, you can usually start eating within a few hours. After root canal treatment, the teeth will be stimulated and damaged to a certain extent, so it will take some time for the teeth to recover. The doctor will advise the patient to avoid eating within 2-4 hours after treatment, so as not to stimulate the teeth and alveolar bone.
What should we pay attention to when we eat after root canal surgery?
Patients should avoid eating hard objects and irritating food, so as not to stimulate the teeth after the treatment of root and canal teeth. In the first few days, choose soft food or semi liquid food, such as porridge, noodles, egg soup, etc. Patients should pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene. After root canal treatment, the resistance of teeth and alveolar bone will decline, so patients need to pay more attention to maintaining oral hygiene to avoid infection and pain. Later, if the patient has symptoms such as pain and swelling, he can take medicine under the guidance of the doctor to relieve the pain and swelling. Physical therapy such as ice compress or hot compress can also be used to relieve pain, but attention should be paid to food selection and oral hygiene. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical advice in time.
How long is it good to do crown after root canal treatment?
After root canal treatment, patients need to wait for a period of time to recover their teeth before performing crown restoration. This time varies from person to person, depending on the condition of the teeth and the patient:
For most patients, after root canal treatment, they need to wait two weeks before crown restoration. Because in the process of treatment, doctors will use drugs to kill nerves and remove infectious substances, which will make the teeth lose nerve control and become fragile. It can gradually weaken the effect of drugs, reduce the sensitivity of teeth, and improve the stability and effect of crown restoration.
In some special cases, it may take a longer time to perform crown restoration after root canal treatment. For example, if the patient has obvious pain, swelling and other uncomfortable reactions after root canal treatment, the waiting time needs to be appropriately extended so that the doctor can observe and deal with these reactions. If the patient's teeth have inflammation, infection and other conditions, they also need treatment and recovery, which may take a longer time to repair the crown.
In some special cases, crown restoration may not be required after root canal treatment. For example, if the patient's teeth have been seriously damaged or loosened, but there is no such way to preserve the situation, it is not necessary to have only a small number of teeth, and it is necessary to make more efforts to repair the crowned teeth. Crown restoration is required to protect teeth.
How long to make a crown after root canal treatment depends on the specific situation of the patient. Two weeks is the routine practice for most patients. If the patient's reaction is abnormal or the tooth condition is special, it should be handled according to the doctor's advice. Fortunately, after receiving the examination and evaluation of the dentist, you can make a choice.
