הנחיות לאחר סתימת קומפוזיט - לבנה:

1. Chewing & Numbness

• Wait until the numbness fully wears off before chewing to avoid biting your lips, cheeks, or tongue.
• Once sensation returns, you may chew normally on the filled tooth unless otherwise instructed.

2. Sensitivity

• It is normal to have mild sensitivity to cold, heat, or pressure for a few days.
• Avoid very cold or very hot foods for the first 24–48 hours if sensitivity occurs.
• If sensitivity worsens over time or does not improve within 1–2 weeks, contact the clinic.

3. Bite or High Spot

• If your bite feels uneven or the tooth feels "high" when biting down, let us know. A small adjustment may be needed and will relieve discomfort.

4. Oral Hygiene

• Continue brushing twice daily and flossing normally.
• Be gentle around the filled tooth for the first day.

5. Eating & Drinking

• Composite fillings harden immediately, so you can eat soft foods once numbness is gone.
• Avoid very sticky or hard foods on the filling for the first 24 hours to allow the tooth to settle.

6. Pain or Discomfort

• Mild soreness at the injection site or around the tooth is common and should improve quickly.
• Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be used if needed (unless contraindicated).
