Before Your Root Canal: How to Prepare

So, you’re gearing up for a tooth-saving root canal treatment in Downtown Toronto. No worries—Dr. Kinga Kubieniec and our team are here to make it a breeze!

Root canals might sound a bit intense, but they rescue your natural tooth and keep you beaming.

Prepping for a root canal helps you feel at ease and ensures efficient recovery. Let’s break it down in this simple guide:

What to Do Before Your Root Canal

Ditch the Stress
: Feeling a bit jittery is normal, but stressing out? It won’t help. Trust Dr. Kinga Kubieneic and the team, focus on the positives, and let’s safeguard that tooth right in the heart of Toronto!
Put Away Tobacco and Alcohol
: Before the big day, avoid alcohol and smoking. They can throw a wrench in the healing process, and we want your recovery to be as smooth as a stroll through the city on a summer day.
Ask Your Dentist- We’re All Ears
: Don’t hold in your fears or questions! Share them with Dr. Kinga Kubieneic and our dental team. We want to help keep you calm and feeling confident in your dental care. Ask away, we’re happy to help!
Fuel Up on Nutrients
: Load up on a good meal a few hours before your appointment. You might have to wait to eat after your appointment thanks to the mouth-numbing anesthetic. It’s best to fill up beforehand!
Create Your Recovery Kit
: Recovery after a root canal is a breeze, but you can face some minor discomfort. Gather your ice pack, over-the-counter pain meds, and maybe a good book!
Get Plenty of Sleep
: Sleep fuels healing, and it also helps you manage emotions. Get enough sleep before your root canal, leaning into relaxation or meditation techniques if you’re wrestling with pre-root canal nerves.
