Food & drink
Once feeling returns
Tooth-colored fillings are set when you leave. You can usually eat once numbness is gone unless your doctor gave different instructions.
If the tooth is sensitive
Choose comfortable foods and avoid temperature extremes or hard chewing on that tooth. Increasing or lingering pain needs a call.
Medical emergency? Call 911 for trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, fainting, or other life-threatening symptoms. Do not wait for an office reply. Emergency guidance
Your doctor’s instructions take priority. If you had more than one procedure, ask your team which instructions to follow. Contact your office.
