Once the teeth are removed, the gum is sutured. To help control bleeding bite down on the gauze placed in your mouth. You will rest under our supervision in the office until you are ready to be taken home. Upon discharge your postoperative kit will include postoperative home care instructions, a prescription for pain medication, antibiotics, and a follow-up appointment in one week for suture removal.
