I just had fillings done. What do I need to do to take care of them? Answer: One of the benefits of tooth colored fillings is that they are as set as they are going to be at the time of the appointment. If you had fillings done with the laser and without anesthesia, you can eat or drink as soon as you want to. If you were numbed, just wait until the feeling comes back so you don't accidentally bite you lip, tongue, or cheek. You may begin brushing and flossing at any time. After a day or two, if a filling feels high, or your bite feels off, please call us so we can adjust it. High fillings can lead to the tooth aching. In most cases we don't have to numb the tooth to adjust it. Cold sensitivity can occur for several days after the filling is done. If you have any concerns, need an adjustment or have persistent sensitivty please don't hesitate to call us. |
