The development of invisible dental fillings are a more attractive alternative to amalgams fillings but equally effective. Invisible dental fillings are matched with the natural color of your teeth using the professional skill of the dentist and his/her tools to perfectly match color. These fillings are incredibly strong, however, there are certain things you need to consider in order to secure a lifetime of utility service from them.
It is imperative to always follow your dentist’s recommendations about chewing tips, including how long you should wait to eat solid or sticky foods right after receiving invisible dental fillings. Dentists highly recommend that you chew slowly and bite lightly when eating after you have just underwent a dental treatment that involves these fillings. So always take your time when you chew your food and try not to bite all the way through. This will help prevent exerting tremendous pressure on the teeth and making forceful contact. This will also allow your invisible dental fillings to set after you have left the clinic.
Eating sticky or gummy food is not advised when you have just had your invisible dental fillings inserted by our team in Newport News, VA. While it is such a rare case in which a new filling gets dislodge by these kinds of food, precaution is still better than cure so it is best to skip them. This restriction is for a very short time and you can return normal eating habits usually by the next day (or even sooner if your dentist so states).
