After the Treatment

After root canal treatment is over, a temporary filling is placed over the tooth which needs to be replaced with a crown as soon as possible. Tooth becomes brittle after root canal treatment. The purpose of the crown is to restore the tooth's strength and protect it from cracking. If the temporary filling is left too long, there are chances that bacteria from your mouth will reinfect the tooth.  

The tooth may be sore for two to three days after the treatment. The worse the infection and inflammation you had, the more sensitive the tooth will be after treatment. Avoid chewing on the affected side.

The pulp which is removed during root canal treatment is the part that responds to temperature. After the removal of infected pulp, your tooth will no longer be sensitive to hot or cold.
