Dentists use dental fillings to fill a cavity after removing any tooth decay. They can be made from many types of materials such as amalgam, composite, ionomers, gold or ceramics. After the treatment, your lips and gums may stay numb for hours until the anaesthesia wears off. To avoid hurting your mouth, try not to chew your numb lip or cheek. In addition to these reminders, your dentist will also give you some aftercare instructions involving foods that must be avoided for several days following tooth-filling procedure.
For the meantime, you’ll be advised to skip foods that will only dislodge your filling or triggers tooth sensitivity such as sticky foods, hot or cold drinks and foods, as well as the hard and crunchy ones. On the other hand, if filled tooth remain sensitive for several weeks or if the pain rises over time, consult your dentist to know the causes and the possible solutions.
