Post-amalgam removal care: tips for a smooth recovery

After having amalgam fillings removed, it’s important to care for your teeth properly to promote healing. Here are some key steps to follow after your procedure.

Immediate aftercare:

  • Avoid eating until numbness wears off – This prevents accidental biting of the tongue or cheek.
  • Stick to soft foods – Choose easy-to-chew foods for the first 24 hours.
  • Follow oral hygiene recommendations – Brush gently and rinse with warm salt water if advised.

Long-term considerations:

  • Monitor sensitivity – Some temporary sensitivity is normal. Let your dentist know if it persists.
  • Attend follow-up appointments – This ensures proper healing and checks your new restoration.
