A treated and restored tooth can last a lifetime with proper care. Root canals have a high success rate. Here are a few ways to take care of your teeth after a root canal:
- Practice good oral hygiene
- Brush teeth twice a day, and floss at least once.
- Taking care of your teeth can help prevent future problems. Visit the dentist regularly – cleanings and examinations by dentists and hygienists.
- Avoid chewing on hard foods– chewing on hard foods such as ice can cause teeth to break, and can harm root canals.
