- If you have been given an anesthetic in order to prepare the tooth (teeth), it should wear off in a couple of hours. Please be careful not to chew on the tooth (teeth) until it wears off. Also, do not eat or drink anything extremely hot or cold until you have complete sensation once again.
- The gum tissue may be slightly irritated around the treatment site(s). This sensitivity will diminish over the next couple of days with proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing.
- A temporary tooth-colored restoration has been placed to protect the tooth (teeth) while your new restoration is being made. Avoid heavy chewing and sticky foods while wearing your temporary. If it does come off before your next appointment, simply pop it back in and call our office immediately.
- Your tooth (teeth) may be slightly sensitive to hot or cold until the final restoration is delivered. Please be careful.
