🦷 Common Mistakes Patients Make After a Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
Root canal treatment saves your tooth — but what you do after the procedure is just as important for long-term success!
🚫 Avoid these 3 common mistakes to protect your newly treated tooth:
🔹 Chewing Hard Foods
Biting down on hard foods like nuts, ice, or hard candies can crack or fracture your treated tooth, especially before the final crown is placed.
➡ Stick to soft foods for the first few days and chew on the opposite side.
🔹 Skipping Follow-Up Appointments
Many patients feel better after the RCT and assume treatment is complete. But you still need a final filling or crown to fully protect the tooth!
➡ Always return for your follow-up visit to complete the treatment and avoid reinfection.
🔹 Poor Oral Hygiene
Thinking the treated tooth no longer needs care is a big mistake. Neglect can lead to gum disease or new decay.
➡ Brush twice daily, floss gently, and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash to maintain oral health.
