After roughly a week, most of the pain from your tori removal should subside. Directly following your procedure you can expect some swelling. Your surgeon might prescribe you some pain management or suggest over-the-counter pain medication. You may also be advised to rinse your mouth out with saltwater. Follow the instructions of your provider.
MANDIBULAR TORI REMOVAL COMPLICATIONS
There is a very rare chance of complications arising during tori surgery. However, as with all surgical procedures, dental tori removal can bring the possibility of infections. Other side effects of tori removal may include bleeding, swelling, and some pain.
If you have had tori surgery and experience additional bleeding, excessive pain, and swelling that won’t go down, you may have a possible infection. If you detect a fever and nausea, call your doctor. Mandibular tori usually grow back. It is best to address the underlying causes and treat them. Doing so may help prevent the need for further tori removal.
