What foods should I eat after going to the dentist?
Depending on the procedure that was done, we sometimes tell patients to avoid certain foods. For example, if it's a filling and you were numb ,we tell patients not to eat till the numbness goes away and after that are free to eat anything you are comfortable with. If, however, it was a root canal or a crown, we usually will have you avoid certain things that are crunchy or sticky that would damage the temporary fillings. READ MORE
