You can chew soft food after 1/2 hour. For hard food stuff you should wait till crown placement.

  1. After a root canal, you can’t eat for 30 to 45 minutes to give your temporary filling enough time to properly firm. 
  2. However, it's usually advised that patients wait to eat until after the anesthesia wears off to avoid biting their cheeks or tongue. 
  3. To maintain the region clear of food particles and plaque, be sure to brush and floss often.
  4. You should also consult with your dentist regarding what you can eat and what you should avoid after your root canal.

Once you have had a root canal, it is advisable that one waits until the numbness has gone way before eating solid food. Most of dentists recommend beginning with a soft diet and then resuming the regular one when it becomes comfortable. But you should follow your dentist’s exact instructions as recovery may differ depending on the person and type of procedure. Seek professional advice from a dentist on the right steps to follow after treatment.

That may mean you are getting a foul breath and produce extra saliva. Those are indicated by a dental or gum problem. I would therefore suggest consulting with the dentist for a complete evaluation and treatment.

Three weeks after wisdom tooth extraction, persistent jaw and ear pain is not normal. It could be a sign of infection or nerve damage, and should seek immediate evaluation by an oral maxillofacial surgeon.

"Is it safe and appropriate for me to use Chlorhexidine mouthwash regularly, diluted with water, as part of my morning oral hygiene routine, and if so, what would be the recommended concentration and frequency of use for my specific oral health needs?"

Male | 15

Absolutely, the use of diluted Chlorhexidine mouthwash with water in the morning routine of oral care can be safe and helpful. The usual concentration is 0.12% and it can be used once or twice per day. This mouthwash is good for inflammation of gums, plaque as well as bacteria in the mouth. To get the best outcome, do not swallow and follow directions cautiously.

I am 43 years old and I have toothache for past one month. While drinking water getting sensitive. Can you share how to cure this toothache

Male | 43

A toothache can occur when your tooth has a problem. The sensitivity or pain you feel when drinking water may be a cavity or dental caries. This can bring discomfort and at the same time make your tooth sensitive to extreme-temperature liquids. Advising patients to visit a dentist as soon as possible is beneficial to help manage toothache. They can investigate the tooth and give proper solutions which might involve filling the cavity or other pain relief procedures to improve the situation.
