A RealAge answered. A dentist may prescribe antibiotics before a root canal procedure to improve the chances of a successful outcome. Antibiotics are usually continued after the procedure as well. The dentist may also recommend the use of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen or naproxen (available over the counter), or oxaprozin or ketoralac (prescription only) after the procedure. This can reduce inflammation and improve healing.
The term root canal is colloquially used to denote the central space of a tooth, where blood vessels and nerves are present. Infection to this cavity is not an unusual case. Root canal treatment is directed to prevent further spread of infection to adjacent tissues and formation of tooth abscesses.
