Root canal treatment
Sir I am under root canal treatment it requires 4 sittings today it got fina and they take cap size but while taking cap size gum beside the treated tooth bleed little bit and after that I looked very small swealling is present in gum beside the treated tooth where cap size is taken is that normal please tell
-Please share an image of the tooth with gums to give assured reason.
- If its minor swelling and the bleeding was just also at the time of impression it could be because of Crown preparation (cutting) and impression.
-Let the swelling reside before you get the capping done.
- Do warm saline rinses ( pinch of salt in lukewarm water) 3-4 times a day.
- Avoid hard brushing.
Next Steps
If you feel the swelling does not reside after 2 days visit your dentist.
Health Tips
Keep doing warm saline rinses at least 3-4 times a day.
