Caring for Your Dental Treatment After the Procedure

1. Refrain from eating or chewing until the numbness from the anesthesia wears off.

2. If supervising a child post-treatment, ensure they avoid eating or chewing while numb to prevent any harm to their lips or tongue.

3. Over the next 24 hours, avoid consuming sticky, crispy, or tough foods to allow the tooth to settle properly.

4. You might experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, along with minor discomfort, which should subside within a few days.

5. Should you encounter prolonged pain or persistent discomfort, please don’t hesitate to contact our office for further assistance.
