FAQs
Root canals, endodontic retreatments, tooth extractions, cosmetic and periodontic dentistry, dental implant insertions, and removal of tumors are some issues that may call for surgery.
Only soft and cool foods should be consumed on the day of the surgery, as hot foods may disturb clot formation. Don’t eat crunchy foods even the next day. Avoid eating hard foods like nuts and tough meat for six weeks if you had implants, to prevent the healing of implants from being affected.
Healing time will depend on how well you rest and other conditions that may delay healing. Avoid crunchy and chewy foods. Keep the surgical site clean with regular mouth rinses. Take your medication as instructed and drink plenty of liquids. Rest and relax for quicker healing.
Your dentist would have recommended pain medication for you post-surgery. Take them as prescribed during the first few days after surgery and then as needed. If you still feel pain three to four weeks later, consult your dentist to rule out any infections.
Absorbable sutures (self-dissolving stitches) are normally used during oral surgery, and it is perfectly alright for them to come out on their own. However, if this is accompanied by significant bleeding, speak to Dr. Llapur right away.
