I have just undergone Dental Surgery, what must I do following the Operation?
Following an Extraction
Please use and complete the anti-biotics and painkillers prescribed to you.
Don’t spit blood out of the mouth, rather swallow the blood after an extraction.
Bite on gauze; it will help with the bleeding.
Do not rinse with oral rinse for the first 48 hours. After 48 hours rinse gently with Luke warm salt water or as the prescribe oral rinse two times a day.
Please use the ice – pack provided for surgical extractions.
If you had undergone a dentectomy and received dentures, please do not take them out until your follow up appointment the next day.
No drinking of alcohol or smoking for the first week after surgery.
Dental Fillings – Children
Please use and complete the anti-biotics and painkillers prescribed to you.
Do not eat or drink before the local anaesthetic has worn off.
