Do not eat on your new filling for one hour if you have been injected and until your numbness is gone.If your filling was not done under anaesthesia then viola you are free to eat right away .
If you are supervising children who had fillings done under dental anaesthesia make sure they don’t bite on their numb lips or tongue (it can cause serious injury to their soft tissue).
You may experience cold and heat sensitivity and some gum soreness; this usually subsides within a few days.
Call our office if you experience pain or discomfort for more than a few days after the fillings, or if you have any questions.
