Your tooth and surrounding gum tissue may be slightly tender for seven to ten days after treatment. This tenderness is normal and is no cause for alarm. Do not chew food on the affected side until your endodontic therapy is completed and your tooth is covered with a protective restoration provided by your restorative dentist. You may continue your regular dental hygiene regimen. Discomfort may be alleviated by taking ibuprofen (Advil), aspirin, or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed.

Should you experience discomfort that cannot be controlled with the above listed medications, or should swelling develop, please contact our office immediately at 504-885-0177.

NOTE: Alcohol intake is not advised while taking any of these medications.

Our doctors are available for our patients day and night. If you need to call after hours, please have your pharmacy number available.
