After care root canal treatment
I had my root canal treatment yesterday. My dentist said I have two teeth( molars in left and right side) which are infected and need rct. Yesterday was my first sitting for the more infected lower molar. I am taking my antibiotics and painkillers. Since the rct I have been taking smoothies only. Kindly advise on what care I should take and what kind of food I should eat until my next rct scheduled next week.

Only precaution u have to follow is avoid having food from that side and avoid hard and crispy food
Rest u can have anything hot and cold is not gonna make any difference in that tooth now as u said ur RCT is started
So just soft food and that too from another side
