Aftercare: Fillings and restorations

A few simple notes for the days after treatment. Keep this page.

  1. Don’t chew until the numbness wears off (about 2–3 hours) so you don’t bite your lip or cheek.

  2. Mild sensitivity to cold for a few days is normal.

  3. If the tooth feels “high” when you bite, let us know so it can be adjusted.

If anything feels unusual or you’re unsure, call us.
