Taking care of your teeth includes not only practicing good oral hygiene habits at home, but also includes attending regular visits to our office for your exam and cleaning. Regular cleanings and exams help to keep your teeth and mouth looking healthy, as well as help to get in front of any issues such as cavities.
At R2 Center for Dentistry we are the leading destination for Wichita dentistry and offer many services for our patients. If you are looking for a general dentist in Wichita to take care of your entire family, we welcome you to schedule an appointment in our office.
When patients come in for their cleaning and exam many ask how soon they can eat after their appointment. In some instances, the patients come in to the office hungry and can’t wait to eat when they are done.
Patients do not have to wait hours after their cleaning to eat. After a cleaning your teeth may be extra sensitive to hot or cold. We recommend choosing sensible foods directly after your cleaning.
What Foods Should I Avoid Directly After a Cleaning?
• Foods with citrus
• Spicy foods
• Crunchy foods
• Sticky foods
• Cold foods
After a few hours if you have any sensitivity, this should subside and you can return to eating normally. We do recommend patients start out with soft foods initially, and then gradually move back to your normal diet.
Staying hydrated is very important, and we recommend patients avoid drinks with high levels of sugar as this can be rough on freshly cleaned teeth. Water is always the best choice because this will not stain or discolor your teeth.
At R2 Center for Dentistry we take care of our patients, and ensure we provide the highest level of service using state of the art technology. We offer affordable dental care to families and patients in the Wichita area. Your oral health is our priority, and we welcome any new patients to our practice.
