Instructions for Composite Fillings (Tooth Colored)

Take caution not to bite or chew on your cheeks, lips and or tongue for they may be numb for several hours following your appointment.

Tooth Colored fillings may be sensitive for up to 6 months.

It is normal for your gums to possibly be sore and bleed for a week. To ease discomfort rinse with warm salt water. (Teaspoon salt in warm water: swish & spit)

It is normal for excess “glue” that is used to help the fillings adhere to your tooth to chip off. This is not your filling or tooth structure.
