Following your dental implant procedure, your dentist will give you detailed instructions to help ease your discomfort during your recovery period. Basic steps you can take to help speed up your recovery include:
Applying a cold compress to your face at 15-minute intervals
Only eating soft foods for the first few days until your sensitivity reduces
Being careful around the surgical site when you brush and floss your teeth
Take any over-the-counter medications as directed by your dentist
