What to expect after a filling?

What to expect after a filling?

-Numbness from freezing during the appointment should go away in a few hours
-you may experience temperature (hot/cold) sensitivity that will decrease over time
– it may be tender to chew harder things (in deeper fillings)
-If you notice sensitivity try to avoid extreme hot/cold and chewing harder things in that area to give the tooth time to adjust
If sensitivity increases in intensity or starts sporadic pain without any chewing or hot/ cold stimulus it’s best to make an appointment to re check your bite. Sometimes the filling needs to be adjusted.
