HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS

AFTER COMPOSITE FILLINGS (WHITE FILLINGS)

When an anesthetic has been used, your lips and tongue may be numb for several hours after the appointment. Avoid any chewing and hot beverages until the numbness has completely worn off. It is very easy to bite or burn your tongue or lip while you are numb. It is normal to experience some hot, cold & pressure sensitivity after your appointment. Injection sites may also be sore. Ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil), (one tablet every 3-4 hours as needed for pain) works well to alleviate the tenderness. If pressure sensitivity persists beyond a few days or if the sensitivity to hot or cold increases, contact our office at 323-461-9066.

You may chew with your composite fillings as soon as the anesthetic completely wears off, since they are fully set when you leave the office. If your bite feels uneven, if you have persistent pain, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please call our office at 323-461-9066.

AFTER CROWN AND BRIDGE APPOINTMENTS

Crowns and bridges usually take two or three appointments to complete. In the first visit, the teeth are prepared and molds of the mouth are taken. Temporary crowns or bridgesare placed to protect the teeth while the custom restoration is being made. Since the teeth will be anesthetized, the tongue, lips and roof of the mouth may be numb. Please refrain from eating and drinking hot beverages until the numbness is completely worn off.

Occasionally a temporary crown may come off. Call us at 323-996-3332 if this happens and bring the temporary crown with you so we can re-cement it. It is very important for the temporary to stay in place, as it will prevent other teeth from moving and compromising the fit of your final restoration. To keep your temporaries in place, avoid eating sticky foods (gum), hard foods, and if possible, chew on the opposite side of your mouth.

It is important to brush normally, but floss carefully and don’t pull up on the floss which may dislodge the temporary but pull the floss out from the side of the temporary crown. It is normal to experience some temperature and pressure sensitivity after each appointment. The sensitivity should subside a few weeks after the placement of the final restoration. Mild pain medications may also be used as directed by our office. If your bite feels uneven, if you have persistent pain, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please call our office at 323-996-3332.

AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION

After tooth extraction, it’s important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. That’s why we ask you to bite on a gauze pad for 30-45 minutes after the appointment. If the bleeding or oozing still persists, place another gauze pad and bite firmly for another 30 minutes. You may have to do this several times. After the blood clot forms, it is important not to disturb or dislodge the clot as it aids healing. Do not rinse vigorously, suck on straws, smoke, drink alcohol or brush teeth next to the extraction site for 72 hours. These activities will dislodge or dissolve the clot and retard the healing process. Limit vigorous exercise for the next 24 hours as this will increase blood pressure and may cause more bleeding from the extraction site.

After the tooth is extracted you may feel some pain and experience some swelling. An ice pack or an unopened bag of frozen peas or corn applied to the area will keep swelling to a minimum. Take pain medications as prescribed. The swelling usually subsides after 48 hours. Use the pain medication as directed. Call the office at 323-996-3332 if the medication doesn’t seem to be working. If antibiotics are prescribed, continue to take them for the indicated length of time, even if signs and symptoms of infection are gone. Drink lots of fluid and eat nutritious soft food on the day of the extraction. You can eat normally as soon as you are comfortable.

It is important to resume your normal dental routine after 24 hours. This should include brushing and flossing your teeth at least once a day. This will speed healing and help keep your mouth fresh and clean. After a few days you will feel fine and can resume your normal activities. If you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, continued swelling for 2-3 days, or a reaction to the medication, call our office immediately at 323-996-3332.

AFTER COSMETIC RECONSTRUCTION

Remember that it will take time to adjust to the feel of your new bite. When the bite is altered or the position of the teeth is changed it takes several days for the brain to recognize the new position of your teeth or their thickness as normal.

If you continue to detect any high spots or problems with your bite, call our office at 323-996-3332 so we can schedule an adjustment appointment. It is normal to experience some hot and cold sensitivity. The teeth require some time to heal after removal of tooth structure and will be sensitive in the interim.

Your gums may also be sore for a few days. Warm salt water rinses (a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water) three times a day will reduce pain and swelling. A mild pain medication (one tablet of Tylenol or Ibuprofen (Motrin) every 3-4 hours) should ease any residual discomfort.

Don’t be concerned if your speech is affected for the first few days. You’ll quickly adapt and be speaking normally. You may notice increased salivation. This is because your brain is responding to the new size and shape of your teeth. This should subside to normal in about a week. 

Daily brushing and flossingare a must for your new dental work. Daily plaque removal is critical for the long-term success of your new teeth, as are regular cleaning appointments.

Any food that can crack, chip or damage a natural tooth can do the same to your new teeth. Avoid hard foods and substances (such as beer nuts, peanut brittle, ice, fingernails, or pencils) and sticky candies.

Smoking will stain your new teeth. Minimize or avoid foods that stain such as coffee, red wine, tea and berries. If you engage in sports let us know so we can make a custom mouthguard. If you grind your teeth at night, wear the night guard we have provided for you. Adjusting to the look and feel of your new smile will take time. If you have any problems or concerns, please let us know. We always welcome your questions.

Wow! What an amazing first experience with my new FOREVER dental practice. I truly have never had such wonderful, attentive, thorough care from any previous dentists I’ve had. I cannot speak highly enough of everyone there. Even though I needed some serious work done, I still left there smiling, happy and feeling like my dental health is finally in the right hands. Huge thanks to all the wonderful women who took care of me today. They offer top-notch dental care with amazing “bedside” manner. Who doesn’t want to get a cleaning while you look at views of the Hollywood sign or have them pop on Netflix so you can binge while they work?! THANK YOU, LADIES! SEE YOU SOON!

In spite of my painful condition, I had a wonderful experience at Glo Modern in Hollywood! Nora was so kind to assist me to complete the forms while I was in pain. From the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist to the dentist assistant and office team players all were professional and accommodating. The dentist was gentle and it was magical. I left the office literally with no pain! Can't wait for my next appointment.

The best provider for your all your dental needs! I’ve had two root canals here, so safe to say, that we’ve been through a lot together. Before coming here, I always had reservations about going to the dentist because of fear. I am extremely fortunate to be under the best care. The staff and doctors here are so accommodating. You can tell that they put great care in everything that they do. Not to mention, they are extremely quick and efficient. They do their best to make sure that you feel comfortable and take the time to explain everything thoroughly. The vibe here is always so upbeat and personable. It never really feels like you’re going to the dentist! Thank you so much for your time and expertise! It’s been such a pleasure!

Modern is in their name but ultra-modern is their practice!Technology and techniques are practiced for the benefit of the patient and not for the sake of appearances. Equally impressive is their "chair-side" manner. I am a high anxiety patient but I was so taken with their care and compassion in the midst of examination that the experience was simply the best I have ever had. They really changed my mind about being able to relax in the dentist's chair. Finally, it is a team that cares for the patient, not simply being handed off from station to station. Everyone from assistants, hygienists, dentists, and the billing department too, have friendly and supportive interaction with their patients.

I cannot say enough good things about these ladies! From the office staff to the hygienists to the dental assistants to the dentists themselves, everyone always was welcoming and friendly and made me feel like they truly care. I have never had a better experience anywhere. I travel for work and have had visits and many dentists across the country and these guys have spoiled me for anyone else.I had 2 cleanings, a root canal, multiple fillings and 8 crowns placed here! And I can say they was the most pain free experiences I have ever had! They really make sure you have the best experience possible.Special shout outs to Dr Ginsberg and how consciousness she was with matching my crowns to my other teeth, how sweet Dr Khamis is on how she fit me in to give me a cleaning herself before I left town, and to Arianna who always had a wonderful smile and made me feel special! I love you guys!
