Post-Operation

 

  • Do not rinse or spit for 24 hours after surgery
  • DO NOT SMOKE. This will help prevent dry sockets (throbbing, radiating pain).
  • Keep fingers and tongue away from the socket or surgical site. 
  • Use ice packs on the surgical area (outside of face) for the first 24 hours. Apply ice 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. 
  • Use heat (moist heat is preferred) from the second day on to help relieve stiffness. Apply 15 minutes, 4-5 times per day. 
  • For mild discomfort, use Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
  • Please take all prescribed medications as directed. 
  • Drink plenty of fluids. Do not use straws. 
  • After the the first post-operative day, use warm salt water rinses between meals to help keep food particles from settling in the sockets.  If you were prescribed a medicated mouth rinse, continue rinsing with that as well.
  • Diet should consist of clear liquids to start if IV anesthesia was used, then progressing to soft foods as tolerated.
  • Biting down on gauze or a moistened tea bag every 20 minutes will help control bleeding. 
  • If stitches were used, they are dissolvable unless otherwise instructed.
