A member asked:
I got amalgam filling on 2 back teeth at 230 when can i eat bacon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amalgams: Approximately an hour after an amalgam filling you can eat from the standpoint of the filling being hard enough. However, if your lips and/or cheeks are still numb from local anesthesia, you should wait until all the numbness is gone so you don't accidentally bite your cheek or lips.
