It is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the patient to regain the functionality of the tooth. During the procedure, the specialist removes the decay and seals the cavity with composite resin.

If the procedure was performed without anesthesia, the patient can eat and drink immediately upon leaving the clinic. However, <\/span><b>If anesthesia has been used, it is advisable to wait a few hours.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The reason is that the numbness in the area will make it difficult for the patient to keep food down. In addition, it also prevents accidental bites to the tongue or the inside of the cheeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another key piece of advice after a dental filling is to avoid chewing with the treated tooth for the first few hours after the procedure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consejos_de_alimentacion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutrition tips<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides waiting a few hours to eat after the procedure, another piece of advice after a dental filling is to follow a <\/span><b>a diet that excludes very hard or soft foods<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
