Post-Operative and After Care Instructions

Post Operative or After Care Instruction For Pulpectomy or Pulpotomy

Your child should be able to resume routine activities as soon as possible
Monitor your child closely so that he/she does not bite their tongue, cheek or lips until the anaesthesia effect wears off
Avoid eating until the numbness from the general anaesthesia wears off. Typically, this takes about ONE to TWO hours
A temporary dental filling is placed to protect your treated tooth between appointments. It’s common for a small portion of your temporary filling to wear away or break off. If the entire filling falls out, please call our pediatric dentist so it can be replaced
Avoid eating, drinking water, gargling or rinsing for 30 minutes so as to not hamper the setting of the cement/Filling placed over the tooth
Avoid chewing food on the side of your mouth where the surgery was performed
Child should preferably have only soft diet like rice, kichidi, upma, idli, curd rice, soft roti/phulka or mashed vegetables for first 24-48 hours after the dental procedure. Avoid hard and hot food for 2-3 days
Avoid brushing the teeth on that area for that night post treatment. Continue brushing and flossing as normal from the next day
Make sure the child takes the prescribed medicines post treatment
NO HOT FOMENTATION/PACK over the area of treatment

Call us immediately if the child has any of these symptoms:

Increasing pain or pain that lasts more than a few days
Swelling
Increasing sensitivity to heat and cold
Inability to chew on the tooth
Allergic reaction to medication

After the completion of Pulpectomy/Pulpotomy a crown/cap is recommended. Failure to have the tooth properly restored with a crown in a timely manner (generally within 10 days) significantly increases the possibility of failure of the Pulpectomy/Pulpotmy procedure or tooth fracture.
