Recovery from Teeth Extractions
Recovery from Teeth Extractions
After a tooth extraction, proper post-operative care is crucial for a smooth recovery process. Patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, and minor bleeding immediately after the procedure, which is normal and typically subsides within a few days. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative instructions tailored to each patient's needs to ensure optimal healing. This may include guidelines on managing pain with prescribed medications, applying ice packs to reduce swelling, and adopting a soft diet to avoid irritating the extraction site. It's essential to follow these instructions diligently to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications.
