“Can I use mouthwash after a root canal?”

Yes, you may use mouthwash after a root canal. It shouldn't hurt anything with the root canal, even if it has a temporary filling.

Yes.

Yes, you can use mouthwash after a Root Canal Filling. Mouthwash is something that can freshen your breath for about 20 minutes after using it, so not long-term. If bad breath is your primary concern, don't count on mouthwash very much. Instead, think of keeping your teeth very clean by brushing regularly and using unwaxed dental floss to clean between the teeth where the brush won't go. Have regular cleanings at your dentist. Brush your tongue (especially its top in the back of the mouth). Nasal drainage and gum disease can cause breath odor. Also certain foods. (garlic does a number on my breath, even the next day). We don't recommend mouthwash regularly, as it can kill good bacteria and let the bad bacteria flourish.
