For a speedy recovery post-root canal treatment, you should take the following measures:
Get a dental crown placed
A root canal treated tooth loses it’s tooth structure and makes it more prone to fracture. For that reason, a crown is required to provide proper protection against the strong forces of chewing and biting.
Reduce the stress on tooth
Root-canal treated teeth are more brittle and susceptible to fractures. As such, you should avoid chewing or biting on the treated tooth to minimise the stress placed on it.
Maintain good dental hygiene
After treatment, it is imperative that you stick to an oral care routine to maintain your crown and avoid future tooth infections. This consists of brushing your teeth thoroughly and gently, flossing, and attending regular checkups and cleaning sessions.
