FILLINGS
If anesthesia is used during a filling, your lips, tongue, and cheeks may be numb for several hours following the procedure. Avoid drinking anything hot or chewing until your tissues “wake up” to avoid tissue injury.
Some sensitivity to temperature and pressure is normal following a filling, and you may experience some soreness at the injection site. You may take ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help alleviate any symptoms. However, if symptoms persist or if your bite feels off, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
