All About Dentures: What are They and How Do They Work?
Dentures are a remarkable solution for those missing some or all of their natural teeth. Are dentures right for your tooth replacement needs? You’ve heard
Fitting in your teeth cleaning appointments can be tough, which is why they often fall before or after work or school. Sometimes, you have to get your teeth cleaned in place of lunch.
It’s a usual issue– your teeth feel refreshed after a thorough cleaning, yet your stomach demands food. What should you do?
Is it okay to eat after a teeth cleaning? How long should you wait?
While we recommend eating before your cleaning to help, it’s also important to understand how long to wait to eat after a teeth cleaning.
Here’s what you need to know.
To understand the best time for eating after a cleaning, let’s review the typical dental cleaning process at Dr. Kinga Kubieniec Dentistry:
When you can eat after your appointment depends on if you get fluoride treatment!
You can eat and drink immediately following your appointment if you did not get fluoride treatment.
Because of the detailed cleaning, you may have slight sensitivity, so it’s good to avoid:
The sensitivity often disappears after a few hours. However, if you’ve been struggling with it, then we recommend using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
If you did get fluoride treatment, then you have to wait a bit longer to eat. Still, you can eat or drink non-water beverages just 30 minutes after your appointment!
However, waiting this half hour is vital. Eating or drinking too soon can disrupt the fluoride treatment and negate its potential benefits.
Dental cleanings in Toronto, ON, are an easy and straightforward process. Since they don’t use anesthesia, you can get back to your normal meals very quickly. If you had fluoride applied, you must just wait 30 minutes before eating!
