Matters needing attention after filling teeth

1. Don't brush your teeth the day after filling with resin, so as not to touch and cause the filling material to fall off.

Second, the shape of teeth can be restored after filling, but the chewing performance of teeth is damaged to some extent. Therefore, it is not advisable to chew hard objects after filling teeth, and chewing on one side is not allowed in the early stage after filling teeth.

Third, the solidification of filling materials takes a certain time, so you should avoid eating within 2 hours after filling, and you can eat some light and mild liquid food and semi-liquid food within 2 hours after filling; Such as milk, bread, porridge and soup.

Fourth, the chewing function of teeth after filling is worse than that of real teeth, so pay attention to protect the mouth after filling, and never bite hard objects.

5. If the cavity is large, after resin filling, tooth restoration is often due to the lack of resistance of the tooth itself, which is easy to cause tooth fracture when chewing. Therefore, this kind of tooth should be protected in time according to the doctor's advice after resin filling.

6. Although dental caries can be controlled after filling teeth, it will still cause dental caries if you don't pay attention to the cleanliness of your mouth. Therefore, oral health care is extremely critical. In daily life, we should pay attention to brushing our teeth in the morning and evening, gargling after meals, doing oral health care well, and having regular oral examinations.

Seven, if there is a slight pain and discomfort is normal, it will take some time to get used to it. If the pain is not relieved after filling, it will be further aggravated, so the attending physician should make further adjustments and repairs in time. consult
