Following instructions post oral surgery is the best way to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. After a procedure the doctor or dental assistant will give you complete instructions on care that are specific to your procedure. Below are some common practices to guide your healing process. If you have any questions please contact our office at 317-789-1000.
- Always wait 2 hours after surgery before eating to let anesthesia wear off.
- Avoid hot and cold food or drink for the next few days.
- Warm salt water rinses can help alleviate pain and keep the area clean.
- If you can, take Advil or Tylenol for pain, if pain persists for 7 or more days contact our office at 317-789-1000.
