Managing Post-Root Canal Discomfort: Gentle and effective
Following a root canal treatment in Abu Dhabi, you are likely to experience some soreness or discomfort, especially after the anesthesia wears off. There is nothing to worry about as it is temporary! However, you can easily manage the discomfort with the following:
- Pain Relief Medications: The dental clinic will supply over-the-counter pain relievers to help alleviate the pain. Follow your dentist’s specific recommendations for taking the medication
- Ice packs: Ice packs are perfect to help reduce swelling and numbness, and they can alleviate any lingering discomfort. Place an ice pack on the outside of your cheek near the affected area gently, for 15-20 minutes at a time, and you can do this frequently until the swelling comes down.
