If I use mouthwash for root canal tooth will it wash the tooth inside of cap as well. Does water/mouthwash goes inside of cap and does cleaning because toothbrush definitely can't reach it after cap on tooth.
no issue u can use mouthwash with cap
Hi
No it doesn't
It can go between crown and adjacent tooth but can't go inside root canal. Anyway you can use mouthwash to maintain oral hygiene.
Root Canal seals the tooth, using mouth wash is to maintain oral hygiene, it will not go inside the root canal to clean it
Daily use of mouthwash and tooth floss in addition to proper brushing is necessary to attain good oral hygiene especially in people who have undergone a dental treatment....
As far as your concern, if something goes inside your root canal tooth or cap, it would result in root canal failure... that's why during rootcanal treatment we properly seal the tooth so that there is no way for the bacteria and saliva to go inside and cause infection and contamination.
Thankyou
no it doesn't reach inside
not at all
no u have to brush thoroughly
No and there is no need for that . Clean the corners with brush or water floss , that is enough
why would you need to wash the tooth surface inside the cap?if it's a good crown , it will not allow fluid of any type to reach the tooth surface inside.Just brush and floss and use mouthwash as prescribed
