Following Endodontic Treatment



After completion of endodontic treatment or retreatment, you must return to your dentist to have a crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.



It is normal to experience post-operative discomfort following endodontic treatment. However, symptoms should improve daily until your tooth starts to feel normal again.

If you experience persistent or increasing pain or any swelling, please call your endodontist or our office. Occasionally additional measures or medications are necessary to assist in post-operative healing.

You will receive a recall card six months after your treatment is completed. Recall examinations allow your endodontist to evaluate the outcome of your treatment. ​
