Will it hurt ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mild to moderate discomfort may occur during the first few days post-operatively. Take your\u00a0prescribed pain killers as directed to alleviate discomfort. If antibiotics were prescribed to you, make sure to take the entire prescription as directed.<\/p>\n

Will I have facial swelling ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Slight swelling and bruising may occur, and can be minimized by :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • applying ice on the treated region. Keep the ice compress\u00a0on for about 20 minutes per hour for the first day. DO NOT apply ice after the first 24 hours, as this could\u00a0slow down the healing and increase the risk of infection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Will I bleed ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Even if the\u00a0bleeding has already stopped when you leave the clinic, your\u00a0saliva will continue to have a reddish colour for the first 24 hours. \u00a0To prevent bleeding, AVOID the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • First\u00a024 hours:\n
        \n
      • AVOID \u00a0<\/strong>hot food and drinks<\/li>\n
      • AVOID<\/strong> smoking<\/li>\n
      • DON’T\u00a0<\/strong>drink with a straw<\/li>\n
      • DON’T<\/strong> spit and rinse your mouth<\/li>\n
      • Exercise is not recommended for at least 48 hours<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        If bleeding occurs, you can stop it by following these tips:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Stay\u00a0calm… the more agitated you are, the more you bleed<\/li>\n
        2. AVOID spitting or rinsing your mouth,\u00a0\u00a0this will increase bleeding<\/li>\n
        3. Locate\u00a0the area where there is bleeding.<\/li>\n
        4. Take a clean facecloth and damp\u00a0it with\u00a0cold water. Use it to apply a firm pressure to the area which must be held for a minimum of 15 minutes.<\/li>\n
        5. If the bleeding doesn’t stop,\u00a0repeat the last step and put pressure with a damp tea bag<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          What can I eat?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          The surgical site is fragile , and care must be taken not to chew with the treated teeth during the first 3 weeks.<\/p>\n

          Day\u00a01:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Restrict your diet to cold or lukewarm and soft foods such as ice cream, yogurt, pudding, and purees.<\/p>\n

          Days 2-21:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Avoid <\/strong>any food that requires excessive chewing or that is crunchy or sticky such as popcorn, nuts, bread, crust, raw vegetables, steak, caramel, chewing gum etc.<\/p>\n

          Eat<\/strong>\u00a0soft or semi-soft foods and DO NOT chew on the side of the mouth that was operated on. You may eat foods such as eggs, minced meat, fish, soups, well-cooked vegetables, pasta and rice.<\/p>\n

          When can I brush my teeth ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Day 1\u00a0 –\u00a0<\/strong>AVOID<\/strong>\u00a0brushing, flossing or rinsing in all areas.<\/p>\n

          Days\u00a02 \u00e0 28 –<\/strong>\u00a0You may begin brushing and flossing in non treated area as usual.<\/p>\n

          However, it is important to AVOID<\/strong> brushing and flossing the teeth where treatment was done until further instructions. During this period, you must use the prescribed antibacterial mouth rinse twice a day.<\/p>\n

          What will my gums look like ?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          The initial appearance of healing gums varies in color from white\/ gray to red\/blue. It is important to leave the surgical area undisturbed, because retracting the cheek or lips to have a look will hinder the healing process and increase chance of complications.<\/p>\n

          Do I need to have a post-operative visit ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          It is very important that you return for a post-operative follow up about 7 to 14 days after the surgery. At this visit, we will remove your sutures and explain to you how to take care of the operated area in order to achieve optimal healing.<\/p>\n

          Who can I call if I have questions ?<\/span><\/h3>\n
