These are post care instructions for anybody who’s had a crown put in, or a veneer, or any kind of indirect cementation of a crown, veneer, inlay, onlay, any of the above. My biggest take home message for most patients is, let me know if the bite is off. That’s probably the most common problem, especially on back teeth.

Dr. Ramzi Matar:

I think that’s good note, I always liked that, even the way the office is built and tailored, it’s for kids. You go into your office, there’s paintings on the wall, giraffes, etc. I think it’s nice that it’s sort of tailored for children. To know that there’s a rationale that makes sense.

Dr. Charlie Bertot: We definitely have fun with it.

Dr. Ramzi Matar (Winter Park Dentistry): Okay, a little bit of home discussions for parents. I want to ...
