Aftercare for Dental Fillings

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of dental fillings:

• Practice good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent tooth decay.
• Avoid hard and sticky foods: Be cautious while eating hard and sticky foods as they can damage or dislodge the filling.
• Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash: Fluoride helps strengthen the tooth enamel and prevents tooth decay around the filling.
• Visit your dentist regularly: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are important to monitor the condition of your fillings and detect any potential issues early on.
• Report any issues to your dentist: If you experience tooth sensitivity, pain, or any other problems with your filling, be sure to contact your dentist for evaluation and possible adjustments.
