After a root canal treatment, you may experience some soreness or tenderness in the jaw area, which is normal. You can usually resume your day-to-day activities after the procedure. However, it’s essential to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your dentist to ensure proper healing. We generally recommend sticking to eating soft foods after your procedure to avoid irritation and allow for proper recovery. It’s best to avoid sticky and hard foods that can dislodge the temporary crown on your teeth, as well as overly hot or cold food and drinks, as they may cause temperature sensitivity in your gums and teeth.
