How to care for a tooth after root canal ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Like any other,: for the most part. Keep the gums healthy by brushing and flossing regularly. Teeth that have had root canal therapy are brittle and often need a crown, so discuss this treatment with your dentist.

Dental care: As any other tooth. If recommended by your dentist, have the tooth crowned for structural soundness. See the DDS for any persistent pain in the tooth.
