What to pay attention to after tooth filling

It takes a certain amount of time for the filling material to solidify, so you should avoid eating within 2 hours after the filling; 2 hours after the filling, you can eat some light, mild liquid and semi-liquid food, such as milk, bread, porridge and soup; do not chew food or hard objects with the newly filled teeth.
