Fillings Post Operative Instructions
 
 
  • Do not eat until the anesthesia wears off.
  • Do not chew anything hard on the treated area for 48 hours.
  • Do not floss for 48 hours.

 

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FROM FILLINGS

 

  • When you are numb, it is hard to tell if your occlusion is correct.  Therefore, you may need a bite adjustment after the anesthesia wears off.
  • If you experience any pain when chewing, you may need to have your occlusion adjusted.
  • It is NORMAL to experience temperature sensitivity for up to 8 weeks after treatment.  However, if you experience throbbing, spontaneous pain, you should call us immediately to be seen as soon as possible.
