Composite Filling

When an anesthetic has been used, your lips and tongue may be numb for several hours after the appointment. Avoid any chewing and hot beverages until the numbness has completely worn off. It is very easy to bite or burn your tongue or lip while you are numb.

It is normal to experience some hot, cold & pressure sensitivity after your appointment. Injection sites may also be sore. Ibuprofen (Motrin), Tylenol or aspirin (one tablet every 3-4 hours as needed for pain) work well to alleviate the tenderness.

You may chew with your composite fillings as soon as the anesthetic completely wears off, since they are fully set when you leave the office. Avoid sticky foods as they can dislodge your fillings.

If your bite feels uneven, if you have persistent pain, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please contact our office.
