Remember that it will take time to adjust to the feel of your new bite. When the bite is altered or the position of the teeth is changed it takes several days for the brain to recognize the new position of your teeth or their thickness as normal. If you continue to detect any high spots or problems with your bite, call our office at Mountain View Office Phone Number 650-969-2866 so we can schedule an adjustment appointment.
Occasionally a temporary crown may come off. Call us at Mountain View Office Phone Number 650-969-2866 if this happens and bring the temporary crown with you so we can re-cement it. It is very important for the temporary to stay in place, as it will prevent other teeth from moving and compromising the fit of your final restoration.
If your bite feels uneven, if you have persistent pain, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please call our office at Mountain View Office Phone Number 650-969-2866.
Use the pain medication as directed. Call the office at Mountain View Office Phone Number 650-969-2866 if the medication doesn’t seem to be working. If antibiotics are prescribed, continue to take them for the indicated length of time, even if signs and symptoms of infection are gone. Drink lots of fluid and eat nutritious soft food on the day of the extraction. You can eat normally as soon as you are comfortable.
After a few days you will feel fine and can resume your normal activities. If you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, continued swelling for 2-3 days, or a reaction to the medication, call our office immediately at Mountain View Office Phone Number 650-969-2866.
It is normal to experience some hot, cold & pressure sensitivity after your appointment. Injection sites may also be sore. Ibuprofen (Motrin), Tylenol or aspirin (one tablet every 3-4 hours as needed for pain) work well to alleviate the tenderness. If pressure sensitivity persists beyond a few days or if the sensitivity to hot or cold increases, contact our office at Mountain View Office Phone Number 650-969-2866.
