I just came home from the dentist's office and I had a crown procedure done. It's only a temporary crown. I totally forgot to ask when I should be able to eat. So my question is when can I eat? How long should I wait before eating?
Thanks!

Here's a link I found that says you only have to wait about 30 minutes. Are you able to call your dentist? Are they still there this late? That would be the very best.

You can eat right away but avoid hard or sticky foods (no gum/candy) keep it clean and floss around it (but don't "pop" the floss back out.. pull it out after it slides through the contacts)
