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.
