- Your gums and teeth may be tender after single or multiple preparations.
- It is very important to have excellent oral hygiene. When brushing, use a soft bristled toothbrush. Gently massage your gums and teeth as instructed.
- Avoid sticky foods (taffy, caramels, gum, etc.) and avoid chewing ice, nuts, and hard candy.
- Floss your temporary crowns gently. Clean and pull the floss out the side so the crown will not “pop off”.
- If a temporary crown should loosen or come off, please call or text the office to have it re-cemented. It is very important that the temporary crowns stay in place while the permanent crowns are being fabricated. Sometimes the nerve of the tooth is unhealthy and may be affected. If the tooth does not settle down after the initial tenderness, or if you need Aleve or Ibuprofen to control the discomfort, 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.
