Instructions for Open Tooth

Endodontic Instructions

Endodontic Home Care Instructions

Due to infection, your doctor has determined that it is necessary to leave your tooth open. The purpose of this is to allow the infection to drain and alleviate any pressure or swelling due to the infection.

If the tooth has been LEFT OPENED

  1. Irrigate your tooth as instructed with warm salt water after each meal and/or snack with the syringe provided to you by our office.
  2. Avoid blocking the open tooth with food by cautiously eating on the opposite side of your mouth. To remove any accidental blockage, vigorously rinse after meals with warm salt water (water chewing). Avoid the use of a toothpick or anything else to clean the food out of the tooth.
