Question:
How long do I wait to eat or drink after a cavity is filled?
Just got 2 cavities filled, forgot to ask the dentist how long to wait before eating or drinking afterwards! Just need a quick answer, thanks!!
Answers:
Usually about an hour. You CAN eat solid food, just stay aeay from anything really sticky like gum and candy because you run the chance of whatever your chewing to pull the filling out. Also, dentist will usually always tell you to wait until the numbness wears off so as not to bite your tounge and cheeks. Common sense to most, but you'd be surprised! =)
