Soft Foods First
Tenderness after a root canal is common, so eating soft foods 
like soup, mashed potatoes, and applesauce helps manage 
discomfort and supports healing.
Keep Your Mouth Clean
Maintaining oral hygiene by brushing and flossing gently 
near the treated tooth prevents bacteria from interfering 
with the healing process.

Avoid Very Hot or Very Cold Drinks
Temperature sensitivity is normal after treatment, so 
lukewarm beverages are the most comfortable option while 
your nerves settle.
Use Pain Relief as Directed
Mild pain is expected after a root canal, and over-the-counter 
medication can help manage discomfort effectively during 
the recovery period.
