How far before my event should I have a filling done?+
There’s no fixed rule, but giving yourself some margin leaves room for any adjustment or lingering sensitivity. Tell the clinic your date, and ask what would be sensible once the tooth has been examined.
Could a filling leave me sore for my event?+
Short-term sensitivity to temperature or pressure can occur, and it should improve rather than worsen. If you’re concerned about timing, mention your event so this can be part of the discussion.
Will numbness affect my face in photos?+
While freezing lasts, your lip or cheek may feel strange. That wears off, so a treatment time that’s not immediately before photos seems sensible. Ask how this may apply to you.
Should I postpone treatment until after my trip?+
That depends on what’s going on with the tooth. Some concerns may reasonably wait while others shouldn’t, so have it assessed before making that call, and mention your travel dates.
Can I ask for a time that fits around my event?+
Yes, you can state your preferences on your request. The clinic will respond about what can be arranged, and sending the form doesn’t itself confirm any time.
