Following any dental procedure, Dr. Villalobos will provide you with specific instructions to help you remain comfortable during your healing process. You can also take basic steps to speed up your recovery.
To reduce swelling, apply ice packs to your face at 15-minute intervals. Eat only soft foods for a day or so, or until the sensitivity in your mouth reduces. Take extra care to brush and floss your teeth, paying close attention around the surgical site. Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed by Dr. Villalobos.
