Resin Fillings

The anesthesia will begin to wear off in approximately one to three hours, depending on the time it was given. Until that time, avoid all hot foods and liquids. Do not chew on anything. This will prevent accidental burning or biting of your lips, cheeks, or tongue.

You may experience some minor sensitivity to temperature and pressure for a few days. If your filling was especially large, it is not unusual to experience some sensitivity for a week or two. If you do experience any symptoms that seem unusual, please let us know. A simple adjustment or your bite may be necessary.
