Practical aftercare steps and daily oral hygiene guidance from our Austin dental team.
Aftercare guides
Follow these general steps after common treatments, and contact our office if anything seems unusual.
After cleaning
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth once a day. Your hygienist can show you the techniques that suit your gums.
After extraction
Avoid rinsing vigorously, using straws, or smoking for the first few days. Soft foods and gentle brushing away from the site help healing.
After a filling
Mild sensitivity to hot or cold can last a few days. If your bite feels uneven or discomfort increases, call the office so we can check it.
After whitening
Teeth may feel temporarily sensitive. Limit staining foods and drinks where possible, and follow the specific instructions your provider gives you.
