After a root canal, one must be careful to not bite on anything hard that could fracture the tooth or anything sticky that could pop a temporary filling off. Otherwise the tooth is typically brushed and flossed like normal. It is important to follow all the instructions given to you by your dentist after the procedure.
The tooth usually gets a crown afterward. Other than that, the usual care - brushing and flossing should work. No biting anything hard until it gets crowned.
