Post-op: Fillings

Your fillings will be fully hardened by the time you leave the office!

Make sure to chew on the opposite side of where your filling is until the local anesthesia wears off!

  • PAIN MANAGEMENT 

    • You may experience tenderness or discomfort after your appointment â€‹

      • Take over the counter aspirin, Ibuprofen or Tylenol to help with any soreness at the injection site​

      • These symptoms will go away over time ​​​
