After Minor Oral Surgery
It is important to follow the instructions below to speed healing. Note that some discomfort and swelling are normal after surgery.
Day of surgery
- Keep the compresses in your mouth for one to two hours, applying firm pressure. Change the pads every half hour, as needed.
- Apply ice to your cheek at regular intervals (20 minutes of ice every hour).
- If bleeding occurs, bite down on a gauze pad or lightly moistened tea bag for 20 minutes.
Don'ts
- Don’t rinse your mouth or spit.
- Don’t drink through a straw.
- Don’t smoke.
- Don’t consume hot foods or beverages. Eat cold, soft foods.
- Don’t engage in intense activity.
Pain
For pain relief in the first 24 to 72 hours, take acetaminophen (Tylenol, Atasol), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or the medication you were prescribed. Don’t take aspirin.
The day after until full healing
- Rinse your mouth three times a day with a warm salt water solution (½ tsp of salt in 250 ml or 1 cup of water).
- You may notice some bruising on the skin. This usually disappears in five to seven days.
- You may find it difficult to open your mouth. This should improve in four to five days.
- If your pain worsens after three days, call our office.
You will feel better after a few days and can resume your normal activities.If you experience heavy bleeding, pain, swelling that lasts more than two to three days, or a negative reaction to the medication, call us.
