Fillings & Restorations

Following Fillings & Restorations

  • Do not eat anything until all the numbness from the anesthesia has worn off.

  • If you are supervising a child who has had treatment, please make certain that they are not eating or chewing while numb. Make sure they do not bite their cheek, lips or tongue because serious injury can result to their soft tissue.

  • Avoid sticky, crunchy, or hard foods for 24 hours.

Sensitivity to cold and heat, as well as any soreness, should not last more than a few days. If this occurs, rinse with warm salt water 2-3 times per day. For discomfort, take Tylenol, Advil or Motrin as directed.

Please call our office if you experience pain or discomfort that does not resolve after a few days, or have any questions regarding your treatment.
