After your oral surgery, it’s essential to rest and practice a consistent oral hygiene routine to protect your smile from possible infection. Dr. Panneton also recommends you to:
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco
Don’t spit, chew, or suck on a straw
Stay hydrated throughout your recovery
Stick to a liquid-based and soft foods diet
Take medication as prescribed
If you continue to feel pain and discomfort on the surgical site, immediately call our office to schedule an appointment. Dr. Panneton will assess your surgical site and provide the best course of action based on your unique dental needs.
