Post-Operative Care for a Smooth Recovery
Properly managing your recovery at home is the most critical step you can take to ensure your dental procedure results in long-lasting oral health. We understand that navigating the hours and days after treatments like tooth extractions or dental implants can feel overwhelming. Rest is your best ally immediately following an appointment. Avoid strenuous activity, keep your head elevated while resting, and use cold compresses on the outside of your face to minimize swelling. It’s also vital to stick to soft foods and avoid using straws, as suction can disrupt healing.
Every patient’s recovery is unique, so it is essential to follow the specific instructions provided by Green Family Dental for your procedure. Whether you had a root canal or an implant placed, we tailor our advice to you. If medication was prescribed, take it exactly as directed to manage comfort effectively. Keeping your mouth clean is important, but be gentle around the surgical site to prevent irritation.
