The first hours after the procedure
After treatment, the anaesthesia takes effect, but the tissues remain sensitive. During this period, it is important to avoid injury and overloading the tooth.
What needs to be done
- do not eat for at least 2 hours or until the effects of the anaesthetic have completely worn off;
- avoid chewing on the treated side;
- avoid putting pressure on the tooth with the temporary filling;
- in case of discomfort, take painkillers as recommended by your dentist.
