Drink normally once the treatment is finished, although its sensible to follow whatever advice your dentist gives you.<\/p>\n<h3>When Should Bonding Hurt?<\/h3>\n<p>Pain during or after bonding isn&#8217;t something you should ignore if its strong or keeps getting worse. A little tenderness is one thing. Persistent pain is another.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Tooth Bonding Right If You&#8217;re Nervous?<\/h3>\n<p>If dental treatment makes you anxious bonding is one of the procedures I&#8217;d feel fairly comfortable recommending for a cosmetic issue.
