Getting Cavities Filled

Does anyone recall if there are any restrictions on what you can eat/drink after having your cavities filled? I searched on google & got quickly frustrated b/c nothing seemed to answer my question.

it's not me, it's L. but i want to maybe stop by & pick up some stuff for him on my way home. i'm sure he'll be sleeping from the novocaine.

Caramels, popcorn, toffee, beef jerkey...

It would be the responsibility of the dentist to explain any restrictions - preferably before the procedure when the victim isn't drugged. IIRC only temporary fillings would need coddling.

i know that the dentist would probably give him a list, but i wanted to maybe pick up some stuff on the way home. i wasn't sure if he'd be restricted to soft foods or anything. i think i was when i had my wisdom teeth pulled? can't remember . . .

my dentist always used to say drink nothing hot for a couple of hours - the numbing stops you from realising the damage that too-hot drinks are having and you can burn yourself really badly. yeah, i'd stick to soft food for a day too.
