One\u2019s lower lip may also feel tight over the bonded edges. It is vital to follow a 48-hour pigment- diet so that the resin is able to cure with stain-free surfaces. In case the lower jaw was numbed, it would take three to four hours for the anesthetic to dissipate. Therefore, one should wait before consuming food.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Eating &amp; Chewing Protocol: Managing Mechanical Forces<\/h3>\r\n<p>The roots on one\u2019s lower incisors are more exposed, and it has less dense bone coverage than posterior teeth. Hence, it is crucial to avoid chewing hard foods like unpeeled carrots, nuts and pork crackling for about a week. One should only use one\u2019s molars when chewing and distribute the pressure evenly on both sides.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Oral Hygiene, Flossing Technique &amp; Daily Maintenance<\/h3>\r\n<p>Saliva that is high in minerals deposits on the back of lower teeth, leading to faster tartar formation than other areas in the mouth. Plaque accumulation on the margins may cause staining or gum inflammation. It is advisable to use tape on a daily basis and clean with an interdental micro-brush. One should also remember to schedule regular maintenance sessions every six months with one\u2019s Envy Smile hygienist to carefully clean and polish the margins.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Red Flags: When to Contact Envy Smile in London<\/h3>\r\n<p>It is important to contact Envy Smile in case one observes that their lower front teeth have a ledge along the inside or their tongue feels sore after rubbing against a lower front tooth edge. One should return to their local Envy Smile for a three-minute diamond-paste polishing if these flags are present.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions by Envy Smile Patients<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Why does calculus develop on bonded teeth?<\/h3>\r\n<p>There is a higher tendency for mineral deposits in the food ducts beneath one\u2019s tongue to adhere to the back of the lower teeth. Calculus rarely develops on other surfaces due to the frequent cleaning of those teeth. Daily flossing and regular professional cleanings can help prevent calculus build-up on the margins.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Will bonding on my lower front teeth grind down my teeth<\/h3>\r\n<p>Modern-day micro-hybrid composites have a wear-rate that is similar to that of enamel. These materials will, therefore, not cause excessive wear to teeth. Furthermore, their hybrid particle size provides a balance between hardness and resilience, which prevents excessive grinding.
