Post-Operative Instructions - Crown and Bridge Treatment

If you have had Novocain, please be careful not to bite your tongue or the inside of your cheeks. Avoid eating hard, chewy and sticky foods on the temporary crown to reduce the likelihood of breaking or dislodging the temporary crown. Gently brush and floss the rest of your teeth as usual. After the permanent crown/bridge is placed, you may feel slight pressure for a few days. Call our office if you experience pain or discomfort for more than a week after the crown/bridge is cemented, or if you have any questions.
