Your tooth may feel tender for a few days after treatment. This is normal and should improve gradually. You can take Panadol or Nurofen if needed (unless advised otherwise).

Avoid eating until the numbness has worn off, and try to chew on the other side of your mouth. Stick to softer foods for the first day and avoid hard or crunchy foods until your final crown or filling is placed.

Brush and floss as normal, but be gentle around the treated tooth. If your gums feel sore, rinsing with warm salty water can help.

If you have a temporary filling or crown, take extra care when chewing. Please return for your permanent restoration to protect the tooth from breaking or infection.
