Crown & Bridge
Post-Operative Care Instructions
Restorative Procedures
Crowns and bridges restore tooth function and aesthetics. Our holistic protocols focus on preserving natural tissue health and integrating biocompatible materials for lasting results.
Post-Procedure Care
Follow these guidelines to support your recovery and healing
Immediate Post-Operative Care
- Initial Rest: Avoid biting or applying pressure on the restored area for the first 48 hours.
- Assessment: Verify that no excessive pressure is placed on the crown/bridge immediately following placement.
Diet & Activity
- Diet: Stick to soft foods for the first two days; gradually reintroduce firmer foods as comfort allows. Avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods.
- Activity: Light activities are encouraged; avoid any strenuous exercise that may affect the new restoration.
Oral Hygiene
- Brushing: Use a non-abrasive, soft-bristled brush with natural toothpaste around the margins of the crown/bridge.
- Rinsing: Rinse gently with a warm herbal solution (e.g., chamomile or sage) starting 24 hours post-procedure.
Holistic & Natural Support
- Herbal Teas: Consume soothing herbal teas to reduce inflammation.
- Mindful Eating: Chew slowly and mindfully to allow the restoration to adapt and settle.
