How to Care for Teeth After Restorations
Properly caring for your dental restorations is as important as caring for your natural teeth.

Some steps to care for your teeth after restorations include:

- Using mouth wash and flossing every day
- Limiting your consumption of sugary foods that are hard to clean
- Avoid biting down on hard objects, such as fingernails and ice
- Visit the dentist twice a year for regular exams and professional cleanings
