Patient testimonials

My family and I have gone to Dr. Postol for years. I recommend him to anyone who does not like going to the dentist as it is actually an enjoyable experience. He takes the pain and fear out of dental visits and dental care. I love getting my regular cleanings and should you have problems, he recommends what he feels is the best treatment for you. His staff is so friendly and they make you feel at ease. Choosing a dentist is just as important as choosing a family doctor; you want a capable, knowledgeable dentist who your whole family can go to and trust. Dr. Postol and Team are the best!

Information Following White Fillings

  1. Tooth colored fillings set hard right away.
  2. Children should be observed until the anesthetic wears off. Due to the strange feeling of the anesthetic many children will chew the inside of their lips, cheeks or tongue which can cause serious damage.
  3. Sensitivity, especially to cold, is common for a few days following a dental resotoration. Usually, the deeper the cavity, the more sensitive the tooth will be.
  4. Sensitivity is usually most noticeable the first 12 to 24 hours after the anesthetic wears off. My advise is to take some Advil, Tylenol, or Aspirin (whichever suits you best) while your tooth is numb to ease the transition while the anesthetic wears off.
  5. The gum tissue could have been irritated during the procedure and may be sore for a few days together with the anesthetic injection site.
  6. The finished restoration may be contoured slightly different and have a different texture than the original tooth. Your tongue usually magnifies this small difference, but you will be accustomed to this in a few days.
  7. If any problems or questions do arise, always feel free to call the office or to call me at home
