A root canal can last many years with the right care. After treatment:
- Get a permanent restoration (crown or filling) as recommended.
- Avoid chewing hard foods on that side until fully restored.
- Keep excellent oral hygiene—brushing twice daily and flossing.
- Visit your dentist regularly for exams and cleanings to ensure the tooth stays healthy.
By following these steps, you help ensure your root canal stays successful and your smile stays strong.
