1. Numbness

           - The numbness from local anesthesia can last 1–3 hours.

​           - Avoid chewing, hot drinks, or biting your cheek/lip/tongue until the numbness wears off.

​

2. Eating and Drinking

          - Composite (white) fillings: You can eat as soon as the numbness wears off.

         ​​​​

3. Tooth Sensitivity

         - Mild sensitivity to cold, hot, pressure, or sweets is normal for a few days to a couple of weeks.

         - Avoid very hot or cold foods for the first 24–48 hours.

         - If sensitivity worsens or lasts more than 2 weeks, contact us to meet dentist.

​

4. Bite Adjustment

           - If your bite feels "off" or uneven, especially after the numbness wears off, please make an appointment for filling                             adjustment . A minor adjustment can fix this and prevent long-term discomfort or jaw issues.

​

5. Pain or Discomfort

           - Minor soreness around the injection site or jaw is normal.

           - Persistent pain, throbbing, or swelling may indicate a problem, please make an appointment immediately. 

​

6. Oral Hygiene

           - Brush and floss as usual, but be gentle around the filled tooth for the first day.

           - Good hygiene helps prevent decay around or under the filling.

​

7. If you experience severe sensitivity, cracked/chipped filling, pain when biting, swelling or signs of infection kindly contact us to make an appointment with our dentist.
