What precautions should be taken after root canal treatment?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had the first part of a root canal done today with a temporary filling. I am feeling no pain anymore in the tooth. Am I okay to run or exercise today, six hours after the procedure? I had pain in my gums for four days before seeing my dentist. They said it was infected and likely caused by a fracture in the past.

Please suggest.

Thank you.

Hi,

I appreciate that you have chosen icliniq.com for your medical needs.

I am here to give you the best care possible.

It is perfectly fine if you are comfortable. Moreover, there are no precautions required in the case of a root canal other than maintaining certain eating habits like avoiding very hard, hot, spicy, or sticky foods during and a few days after the procedure. Exercise is good, and brisk walking is advisable if you feel that running may overstress you. Eat healthily and drink plenty of clean, room-temperature water. Avoid soda and drinks for some time if you are in any such habit.

I hope my answer was helpful to you.

Feel free to revert for more details and information.

Thank you.
