Ensuring a Healthy Recovery
and Lasting Results
Taking care of aftercare properly is key to preserving both the health and endurance of your dental therapies. As you recover from either a typical procedure or a more advanced treatment, remaining committed to the suggested aftercare directions will help enhance your recovery and improve results.
When to Contact Your Dentist
- Persistent Toothache: If you suffer from any pain that doesn’t improve with painkillers, it’s likely symptomatic of a larger issue; decay or infection; you have to speak with your dentist.
- Sensitivity to Hot & Cold: Seeing sudden sensitivity to hot or cold could be a symptom of other health issues, such as decay, gum disease, or loss of enamel; don’t hesitate to reach out to your dentist.
- Gum Issues: Gum disease signs include gum swelling, bleeding, or sores; if you experience any of these, please see your dentist as this could be, or already is, a serious problem.
- Dental Injuries: Call your dentist without delay if you have a dental injury to a tooth that is loose or not; this will provide the best care and improve your odds of preserving the tooth.
General Aftercare Tips
Follow Post-Procedure Instructions
You must observe the special aftercare recommendations from your dentist or oral surgeon as they are tailored explicitly for your requirements.
Sustain Oral Cleanliness
Continue your daily oral hygiene routine as normal but be gentle in the treatment area. Brush and floss as instructed, and avoid rinsing your mouth too vigorously.
Stay Hydrated
Increase your water consumption, but skip the straws because sucking could dislodge any blood clots or irritate the area where the surgery took place.
Manage Pain and Discomfort
By taking pain relievers available without a prescription along with tips from your dentist, you can ease your pain after the procedure.
Plan Follow-Up Appointments
Do not forget to keep any follow-up appointments made with the dentist for healing purposes and to address any concerns.
Avoid Certain Foods
Post your treatment, it's a more sensible idea to eat soft foods and to avoid spicy, hot, or crunchy options that can boost irritation and pain.
Specific Aftercare for Common Procedures
Tooth Extraction
Rest for at least 24 hours and apply ice packs to bring down swelling. Avoid using straws or slurping and stick to soft foods.
Dental Implants
Wait about a week before eating harder, crunchier foods to let the mini titanium roots fuse with your jawbone. Gently rinse with a mouthwash and look for signs of infection.
Root Canal Treatment
Take over-the-counter pain medication to numb the pain. Don't chew on the treated side of the mouth for at least a few days, and schedule a visit for a crown or other restoration to keep the pulpless tooth from breaking
Fillings
Go slow on crunching snacks and sticky, chewy things for 24 hours. Call your dentist immediately if you have any lingering pain or sensitivity after that.
