When Actisite® fiber is in place, patients should avoid actions that may dislodge the fiber. Patients should receive the following instructions:

1. Do not chew hard, crusty, or sticky foods.
   
2. Do not brush or floss near any treated areas. (Continue to clean other teeth.)
   
3. Do not engage in any other hygienic practices that could potentially dislodge the fibers.
   
4. Do not probe at the treated area with tongue or fingers.
   
5. Notify the dentist promptly if the fiber is dislodged or falls out before the scheduled recall visit, or if pain or swelling or other problems occur.
