Brush gently: If tenderness lingers, be careful around the area at first.
Floss daily: Therefore, plaque won’t build up near the gumline, especially around crowns or fillings.
Avoid hard bites: Moreover, skip ice, hard candy, and non-food objects that can stress the tooth.
Use a nightguard: In addition, if you clench or grind, it helps protect your restoration from excess pressure.
As a result, your tooth is more likely to stay strong long-term, and follow-ups help us catch small issues early.
Although uncommon, reinfection can happen—so watch for these signs:
Persistent pain: However, ongoing discomfort may signal lingering infection or irritation.
Gum inflammation: Additionally, redness or swelling can suggest a leak or bacterial intrusion.
