When you receive a dental filling at Edward St Dental, your Brisbane dentist uses specific materials, such as composite resin, to fill a cavity or repair decayed tooth areas. A tooth-coloured dental filling aims to restore the tooth's integrity, preventing further decay and maintaining its function.
What to Expect after a Dental Filling
After receiving a tooth-coloured filling, patients might experience slight sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, which usually subsides within a few days. It's essential to avoid strenuous chewing immediately after the procedure to allow the dental filling to set properly.
We recommend practising good oral hygiene to prolong the lifespan of the dental filling. Regular dental check-ups will ensure the composite filling remains intact and continues to function as intended.
Safe Foods to Consider
Opt for soft foods that don't require much chewing. Yoghurt, mashed potatoes, soups and smoothies are great choices. We encourage patients to steer clear from hot drinks or foods until the numbness subsides to prevent burns.
