For faster recovery after the surgery follow the instructions given to you by your dentist strictly.
• Take the prescribed medications on time.
• Avoid brushing/ flossing near the site of treatment for few days but keep the site clean by rinsing gently.
• Do not spit or rinse at all for the first 24 hours so that a proper blood clot can form.
• Do not smoke after the surgical procedure as it can increase the chances of infection.
• Eat soft food for a day or so.
• Use ice. Apply ice packs to your face for 15 minutes on and then 15 minutes off to keep swelling down.
• Eat / drink foods rich in vitamin A and C.
