Is root canal and dermal fillers a month apart safe?

Question

I got root canal done on the 3rd lower molar 4 weeks ago and now I want to get HA fillers done on my cheeks now...is it safe? I have read of infections and biofilm risks? Can you please help me with taking a decision as my engagement date is in 3 months... I dont want complications...but I need fillers as I have lost wieght and look sick right now...

You can have fillers done after root canal any time you want, it’s definitely safe a month after.

thank you for your question. This is an important question. In Australia  we recommend 1 month break between dental work and filler. You are absolutely correct in attempting to prevent infection. We know that after something like a root canal the bacteria is probably in your system for at least  2 weeks but unsure if it is longer so we suggest 4 weeks.Great question and good luck

Hello and thank you for your question. We recommend to our patients to schedule out dental procedures at least 2 weeks from fillers. Since you are a month out already, you would be safe to get fillers now. Hope this helps!
