Post-Op Dental Care in Etobicoke

A part of making dental surgery successful is to follow your doctor’s orders during the post-operative care.

After your surgery you will be given specific instructions on how to ensure you have the best recovery possible.

 

If you’re having any problems or questions make sure you call your our office right away at 416-743-2273. If you follow all the post-operative instructions you shouldn’t have any complications but it’s always better to be safe then sorry.

Extractions

After an extraction, it's important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. That's why your dentist will ask you to bite on a gauze pad for 30 to 45 minutes after an extraction.

Dental Implants

A part of making the dental implants surgery successful is to follow your doctor's orders during the post-operative care. After your dental implants have been inserted you will be given antibiotics as well as antibiotic oral rinse.

Dentures

Now that you have received your new denture(s), what can you expect from them? Your mouth is an ever-changing soft environment and your dentures are relatively hard and unyielding.

Fillings

It is normal the day of treatment to experience some general discomfort. Your jaw muscles may also be tired from opening. In most cases this will subside quickly and can be relieved with your normal over counter pain medication.

Crown, Bridge & Veneers

Your anesthesia will wear off in approximately 2 to 7 hours after the procedure. It is very important not to chew on the numb side (to prevent biting tongue, lip, etc.) until the anesthesia wears off.

Scaling & Root Planning

It is normal for your gums to feel tender. We strongly recommend rinsing twice daily for two days with warm (not hot) salt water to speed-up healing and reduce tenderness.
