General tips -
1. Brush twice a day for 2 minutes using modified bass technique (Check Youtube)
2. Floss once a day using a dental floss, younifloss or water flosser
3. Rinse after every meal
4. Restrict sugary foods to meal time
Next Steps
Make sure to get a cap, as the tooth is brittle after RCT similar to tree bark without life. Make sure to floss in between the cap and natural tooth to avoid food lodgement.
