What to expect after a filling.

Maintaining good oral health requires proper care of your fillings. Firstly, there is usually some mild discomfort after a filling, which usually goes away on its own after a few days. Second, remember to maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning between your teeth twice a day with a toothbrush and floss. To protect your newly filled tooth from injury or discomfort throughout the healing process, you should try to avoid eating foods that are too hard, too cold, or too hot. Biting on hard objects should also be avoided in order to prevent the filling from falling out. Additionally, if you notice pain, swelling, or symptoms of infection that last for a long time, you should go to the hospital for a routine checkup and seek help. In conclusion, even if we have just had a filling, we must continue to take proper care of the remaining teeth, maintain good oral hygiene and have regular cleanings to avoid periodontal disease and calculus. We need a combination of oral hygiene, nutrition and routine check-ups to ensure that the teeth with fillings remain healthy.
