After your oral surgery procedure, Dr. Webley will provide aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and faster recovery time. While it’s important to practice good oral hygiene, remember to be gentle around the surgical site. To ensure your surgical site stays clear of infections, Dr. Webley offers the following instructions:
Rinse with warm salt water after every meal
Avoid exercise and strenuous activity for a few days post-procedure
Don’t spit, chew, or suck on a straw
Stick to a liquid-based and soft diet
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco
Stay hydrated
Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
Take medications as prescribed
