Post-Operative Instructions - Fillings

A new filling may be sensitive to hot and cold from a few days to a few weeks. If the sensitivity does not fully subside, call the office. After the anesthesia wears off and you feel pain when biting down, the filling may need to be adjusted to fit your bite. Call the office to make an appointment for an adjustment. Brush your teeth and floss regularly to make your filling last as long as possible. Fillings can last for a long time depending on use and care.
