Fillings Aftercare

Composite (white) fillings – aftercare

Your filling is hardened and set straight away, so you can eat and drink as normal, but take care if you have had a local anaesthetic as your lip and tongue may be numb. Avoid very hot food and drinks and biting or chewing your lip and the insides of your mouth.

If the fillings have been placed on the outside front of your teeth, be aware that over time they can stain. Ensure the teeth are cleaned thoroughly and use floss or interdental brushes between them. Certain drinks such as red wine, tea and coffee and smoking may cause the fillings to stain more quickly.

You may experience some minor discomfort and sensitivity to hot and cold, your regular painkillers can be taken if required. If you are still experiencing pain after a couple of weeks, do not hesitate to contact us on 01926 311698.

Amalgam (silver Fillings) – aftercare

It will take a little time for your filling to be completely hardened and set so avoid biting or chewing on the area for a couple of hours after treatment. Take care if you have been administered a local anaesthetic as your lip and tongue may be numb. Avoid very hot food and drinks and biting or chewing your lip and the insides of your mouth.

If you find small fragments of silver filling material in the inside of your mouth, do not worry, this is normal. Simply rinse your mouth gently with water if necessary. If large pieces of silver filling have come away from your tooth, then contact us immediately.

You may experience some minor discomfort and sensitivity to hot and cold, your regular painkillers can be taken if required. If you are still experiencing pain after a couple of weeks, do not hesitate to contact us on 01926 311698.

“A fantastic dental surgery. Professional, considerate, consistent. From hygiene to communication, aftercare to customer care in general, everything is to the highest quality. It's easy to book in for check ups, emergency and hygiene appointments, I find the text reminder really helpful too.
