We have placed tooth-colored restorations on your teeth. The resin material used is a plastic with
small "filler" particles of glass-like material - the finest and most up-to-date materials available
today. These restorations will serve you well for several years. However, you should be aware of the
following.
Chewing  As with natural teeth, avoid chewing excessively hard foods on the restored teeth (hard candy, ice, raw carrots, bones, etc.) because extreme force can cause the resin material to be broken from the tooth - just as it can in a natural tooth. In the event that a breakage occurs, replacement of a restoration is not difficult. Recalls Visit us at regular six-month examination periods. Often problems that are developing around the restorations can be detected at an early stage and repaired easily. Waiting a longer time may require redoing the entire restoration. We will contact you when it is time for your recall appointment. Preventative Procedures To provide optimum longevity for your restorations and to prevent future dental decay and supporting tissue breakdown, please brush and floss after eating and before bedtime, and with a recommended mouthwash swish vigorously for at least 30 seconds daily. Please call us if you notice any change in your tooth-colored restorations, or if you have any questions at all about them. |
