- Please do not eat until the numbness wears off.
- Please avoid extremely hard foods in the treated area.
- There may be some sensitivity to temperature, especially cold. This could last anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on the amount of decay that was present in the tooth. Deep areas of decay that are close to the nerves of the teeth and are restored with a filling can be sensitive. Every effort is made to avoid the need for root canal treatment by placing desensitizing medications under these fillings. If the nerves of these teeth were unhealthy, the teeth can become more sensitive.
- There may be some sensitivity to biting.
- There may be some sensitivity around the gum or at the injection site. Use 8oz. of warm water and rinse your mouth several times today and tomorrow.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the office.
- Friday through Sunday, please call and leave a voicemail so we can return your call promptly. Text messages are read on Monday.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the office at (847) 441-6510.
