First, continue brushing and flossing regularly, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid damaging the filling. Be gentle when cleaning around the filled tooth to prevent dislodging it. Avoid hard or sticky foods for at least 24 hours post-treatment, as these can put undue pressure on your filling.

Monitor the filled area for any changes, such as sensitivity or discomfort. If you notice anything unusual, contact our office promptly. Regular dental check-ups are also vital for assessing your fillings and overall dental health.
