We recommend you follow these steps after your apicoectomy procedure.
1. Apply ice to the swollen area for 20 minutes. Repeat after the next 20 minutes till your pain subsides.
2. You can use over-the-counter pain medication to help with pain relief and swelling.
3. Rinse your mouth but not vigorously.
4. Do not brush your teeth near the surgery site.
5. Eat only soft food. Stay away from hot, spicy, hard, and crunchy food as it can easily disturb the affected area.
