Home After Care - Esthetic Dentistry

After receiving your new smile, make sure you take care of it by following these simple directions:

At first, your bite might be different and seem akward, however you should adjust to this in a short time.
If an anesthetic was used to perform your procedure, try not to chew any food or gum until the numbness has ended.
Be careful not to eat foods that are very hard or could chip your new smile (i.e., biting hard candies).
Moderate or eliminate items that stain teeth like dark juices, tobacco, wine or coffee.
Your brushing and flossing routine should be as usual.
Take your medications or antibiotics (if prescribed) as stated.
Rinse your mouth with salt water 3 times a day to reduce swelling.

You will most likely have discomfort for a few days after your procedure, however if any items come off or your sensitivity/pain increases, please call our office with your concerns.
