1. If your child’s mouth is numb closely watch your child until the anesthesia wears off. Local anesthesia may last as long as 3 hours. Do not allow him/her to bite, suck, or rub the lips, face or tongue while they feel numb.

2. To minimize any discomfort, you may give your child ibuprofen every 6 hours as needed.

3. Continue to brush and floss the teeth starting this evening.

4. Occasionally the teeth may be sensitive to hot or cold temperatures after being restored.
