No, Problem. You saoule be Able to brush normal
There should be no difference in brushing after a root canal.
Root canal treatment should not alter the need or technique of brushing and flossing your teeth.
Hi,
After a root canal is done, depending on what the dentist told you, you may have a bit of pain on the tooth which will eventually subside. If so, be gentle, however, there are no real contraindications to brushing after a root canal. You should be able to maintain ad normal unless advised by the dentist.
Hope this helps.

With great care as you did before. Check with your root canal specialist if you need unique instructions particular to your case.
Assuming the treatment was successful and you are comfortable, no precautions are needed unless you have a temporary filling, in which case, see your dentist to have the tooth properly restored.

The same as you always have.
You should be able to brush normally. If your gums are swollen or slightly painful in that area, you can place your toothbrush at the gumline and sweep the toothbrush up and away from the gums to help minimize any brushing trauma to them.
