The most important thing that you can do the day after surgery is rest!  You should not make plans – regardless of how well you may feel.  Stay off of your feet and catch up on sleep or TV time. You should also start brushing your teeth carefully as it is very important to keep your mouth clean following surgery.  Warm salt water rinses 2-3 times a day beginning one day after your surgery are also recommended to help clean the surgical sites.  You can eat what you are comfortable with (make sure you don’t eat anything that hurts, or anything that can wedge itself into the extractions sites like popcorn, chips, nuts or rice) although we do recommend soft foods such as ice cream, pudding, jello, apple sauce, cottage cheese, yogurt, soup, pasta, mashed potatoes or eggs.  You should make sure to take your medications that have been prescribed to aid in your healing as well. As always, please feel free to call our office should you have any questions. Contact us to book a consultation for wisdom teeth removal in Surrey now!
