    Do I Need to go Back to my Dentist?

    When your root canal therapy has been completed,  a record of your treatment will be sent to the dentist who referred you.   We advise you return to your general dentist between two to six weeks after your root canal treatment/retreatment is completed to have your final restoration done unless advised differently by us.   This amount of time will allow most of your tenderness to subside before having further procedures done on your tooth.   If your tooth does not get the necessary final restoration (crown or filling) and the temporary filling wears out,  the root canal will become infected and need retreatment,  microsurgery or extraction.

     The final restoration is either a filling or a crown and will be placed to protect your tooth from fracture and further contamination and restore your tooth to its full function.   As the unrestored tooth is susceptible to fracture,  please do not chew or bite on the treated tooth until you have it restored by your dentist.

    When your surgical procedure has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to the dentist who referred you.   We advise you return to your general dentist for routine appointments.
