A member asked:
How soon can i brush my teeth after a filling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Right Away: White fillings are cured immediately with a curing light and silver fillings harden over a few minutes after placement. You can brush right away after fillings are placed. If you are numb from anesthetic, you should be careful not to brush too hard so as not to injure the gum tissues.
