Can you eat after getting a cavity filled?
Yes, you can eat right away once the numbness wears off. However, avoiding sticky, hard, or overly hot and cold foods for the first 24 hours is best.

How do I know if I need a filling or a crown?
Fillings are used for small to medium cavities, while dental crowns are needed when a tooth has extensive decay or structural damage. If a cavity is too large for a filling to provide adequate support, or if a tooth is cracked or weakened, a crown may be the better option. Dr. Akam will assess your tooth and recommend the best treatment.

What is the best way to care for a new filling?
Caring for your filling is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and visit us for regular checkups. Let us know if you experience sensitivity or discomfort after your filling.
