Fillings

Hi
Getting two fillings Tuesday afternoon, how long will I be numb for after and how long before can I eat again?

Cheers?

From my recent experience of getting them, 3-6 hours of numbness, with it getting less numb as time goes on. Eating after about 3/4 hours.

If they are either side of the mouth it might be longer.

Cheers, there on the same side I think, how long would roughly take to do two?

Ring your dental practice to ask for specifics on your own case. They will have allocated you a specific amount of time when you booked your appointment

Fillings might be 1 surface, 2 surfaces, 3 surfaces . They might be shallow or deep.
They might be composite or amalgam. Upper or lower. Any variation takes different time.

Was out in an hour, two fillings on the same side, three hours has passed and my face still feels a bit numb is this normal? she said not to eat hard foods for 24hrs but both fillings are on the left side top/bottom, would it be ok to eat on the right side?

Its fine to eat after fillings just be careful not to bite the soft tissues.
Honestly I mean using lignospan pulpal anaesthesia lasts about 45 mins and soft tissue about 2-3 hours. You'll be fine.
