At Faces n Smiles—the best dental clinic in Chandigarh for RCT, following proper care before and after your root canal is essential for comfort, healing, and long-lasting results.

Before Your RCT Appointment:

• Eat a light meal before your procedure unless advised otherwise.
• Take prescribed medications if your dentist recommends them for pain or infection control.
• Arrive on time to ensure adequate consultation and treatment.
• Inform your dentist about any medical conditions or medications you are taking.

After Your RCT Procedure

• Pain & Discomfort: Mild soreness is normal for a few days. Take prescribed painkillers as directed.
• Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss gently. Avoid brushing directly on the treated tooth immediately after the procedure.
• Diet: Stick to soft foods for a few days. Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods until the tooth is fully restored.
• Temporary Filling/Crown: If a temporary filling or crown is placed, avoid chewing on that side until the permanent restoration.
• Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled visits to monitor healing and place the permanent crown if required.
• Watch for Complications: Contact the clinic immediately if you experience severe pain, swelling, or any signs of infection.

Following these instructions ensures your root canal treatment is successful and helps maintain the health and longevity of your treated tooth.
