If you're considering taking a flight after an endodontic appointment, you may be wondering if it's safe to do so. The good news is that it is generally safe to fly after a root canal, filling, or other minor dental treatments. However, the change in altitude when flying can have an effect on how you feel during the flight. This depends on each person, their tooth sensitivity, the type of dental treatment they had, and their pain tolerance.
We recommend waiting 5 to 7 days after your endodontic appointment before taking a flight. This will give your body enough time to heal and adjust to any changes in pressure. If you have to travel a couple of days after your dental treatment, you can take an ibuprofen or other similar pain reliever before your flight takes off. Most people choose to return to work after endodontic treatment, but if you have a job where you work in the public or talk a lot, you may want to take the rest of the day off due to numbness caused by anesthesia, which can affect your ability to smile and speak.
If you've never had endodontic treatment before, you may not know what to expect after the procedure is finished. After the procedure, the endodontist will send you home with instructions on how to manage your pain and how to care for your tooth while you recover from treatment and until a follow-up visit. To ensure that your flight is as comfortable as possible after an endodontic appointment, we recommend waiting at least 5-7 days before taking off. This will give your body enough time to heal and adjust to any changes in pressure. In conclusion, it is generally safe to fly after an endodontic appointment.
However, it is important to wait at least 5-7 days before taking off in order to ensure that your flight is as comfortable as possible.
