AFTER COMPOSITE FILLINGS
After fillings your lips and tongue may be numb for several hours. Avoid any chewing and hot beverages until the numbness has completely worn off. It is easy to bite or burn your tongue or lips while you are numb.
It is normal to experience some hot, cold and pressure sensitivity after your appointment. Injection sites may also be sore. If pressure sensitivity persists beyond a few days, if the sensitivity to hot or cold increases, or if your bite feels uneven, please call our office.
