How long should i wait to eat after coming from the dentist?!


Question: How long should i wait to eat after coming from the dentist?
Answers:

They usually tell you, but it's usually between an hour to three. If you have had a cavity filled, and your mouth is numb, then you can eat and drink as soon as the numbness goes away.



My dentists have always told me that if you receive a fluoride treatment, you must wait at least 30 minutes. If you have only a cleaning without fluoride, then you can eat right away. If you received any other special treatments, your dentist or hygienist should definitely have mentioned to you to wait longer.



they usually tell me to wait 1/2 - 1 hr if its just a checkup cuz they put sum fluoride in ur teeth

answer mine?
