What should I do after a filling procedure?
When anesthetic has been used, your lips, teeth, and tongue may be numb for several hours after the appointment. Avoid any chewing until the numbness has completely worn off.

What are the normal symptoms after filling procedures and what should I do?
It’s normal to experience some hot, cold, and pressure sensitivity after your appointment. Your gums may be sore for several days. Rinse three times a day with warm salt water to reduce pain and sensitivity.
