Hey, I am just done with my RCT, capping is still left. What are the precautions I should take as the effect of anesthesia is still not over. Should I brush my teeth after having any meal or just rinse it thoroughly?

Anesthesia should not last more than 3 hours after treatment. Avoid eating till numbness is there as you may bite your lip or cheek.
Health Tips
Till your capping is done avoid hard food as your tooth can fracture
