If you detect any high spots or problems with your bite, call our office so we can schedule an adjustment appointment.
Other signs the bite might be wrong:
Sensitivity that begins after eating or when you wake that subsides as time passes
A zing through the tooth when you bite on something or squeeze your teeth together
Cold/Hot sensitivity that increases as time passes
Continue to rinse with the warm saltwater until all tissue is healed and feeling normal. Floss and brush two times a day. Plaque removal is critical for the long-term success of your new smile, as are your regular hygiene appointments. Decay can begin where the tooth and porcelain restorations meet. The only way to avoid this process is to make sure all plague, tarter and food particles are removed on a daily basis.
Continue to avoid foods and materials that can damage your new smile. This includes:
Biting fingernails
String and thread
Opening packets with your teeth
Ice
Hard candies
Remember: Your teeth are jewels, NOT TOOLS!
If you clench or grind your teeth, wear a night guard if we have provided one.
