All I'm trying to do is figure out the heighth of the platform I will need to build to install a new shower stall. Oh and Marlin, I said that a hole was not an option for many reasons. Number one on that list is not wanting to turn a $3,000 job into a $30,000 job.
In brief: Generally.. As far as the filling itself goes, you can eat right away with tooth colored composite fillings, but should wait at least one hour with amalgam (silver) fillings. It's always best you ask your own dentist as this can vary somewhat based upon the size and location of the filling.
Please call if you have any bleeding (not oozing) or pus coming out of the insertion site that is not relieved by pressure. Remember to go for your post-insertion blood work 8 weeks after the insertion. Most women will need re-insertions of their pellets 4-5 months after their initial insertion. Please call as soon as symptoms that were relieved from the pellets start to return to make an appointment for a re-insertion.
