The First 48 Hours: Settling, Sensation and Diet
shaped teeth will feel waxy smooth. Many layers of resin have been cured and polished to give the best surface detail. Tiny pores in the composite polish will take two days to fully cure and become resistant to staining. Stick to pasta, white rice, white meats, steamed fish, cauliflower and drink plenty of plain water during the first forty‑eight hours. Avoid staining agents such as tobacco, dark berries and mouthwashes.
Chewing Protocol: Mechanical Forces
Chew normally with back teeth but avoid biting very hard foods that can chip the delicate sculpted surface of front teeth. Hard sweets, ice cubes and apples should be sliced into bite sizes. Avoid biting into fibrous foods such as celery and carrots with front teeth for the first twenty‑four hours.
Oral Hygiene, Flossing Technique & Daily Maintenance
The important advice for aftercare of misshapen teeth restored with composite bonding material is to avoid using coarse whitening toothpastes that contain silica, calcium carbonate or activated charcoal. These abrasive ingredients will wear away the gloss after a few months causing unsightly staining of bonding material. A toothbrush and low‑abrasion fluoride toothpaste is recommended for everyday cleaning.

If dental floss is snagging or shredding along the side of a restored tooth that indicates that a small amount of composite bonding overhang exists. Contact Envy Smile so that we can gently remove the bonding material with a fine polishing strip.
