Caring for Your Surgical Site

Proper care after your procedure is crucial for a successful recovery. Keep the surgical area clean and avoid disturbing the site. Follow our specific instructions on oral hygiene, diet, and activity to ensure optimal healing and prevent complications.

Managing Discomfort

It's normal to experience some discomfort after your procedure. Follow these steps to manage pain and ensure a smooth recovery:

Take prescribed medications as directed by your dentist to effectively manage pain.

Avoid strenuous activities and rest as much as possible to support the healing process.

Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and alleviate discomfort; use in 15-minute intervals.

Follow a soft diet, avoiding hard, crunchy, or spicy foods to prevent irritation of the surgical site.

Post-Op Oral Hygiene

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential for your recovery. Brush your teeth carefully with a soft-bristled toothbrush, avoiding the surgical area for 2 weeks or until your post-surgical follow up visit. Avoid using mouthwash containing alcohol, as it can irritate the surgical site. Use a prescribed mouthwash to rinse your mouth to prevent irritation and infections. Each surgical procedure necessitates specific home care guidelines. Consult your dentist regarding your personalized instructions. Adhering to these instructions will help you minimize the risk of complications, aiding in a smooth, speedy recovery.

Dr. Vanessa Mancuso performed oral surgery and implant bone grafts for dental implant retention. She is superior in her field of periodontics. The surgery was painless, and she demonstrated a gentle, kind, and lighthearted demeanor throughout the process. I highly recommend her services.

I recently had oral surgery performed by Dr. V. Mancuso. I received excellent care, with three follow-up visits by Dr. Mancuso. She always guided me on what to do to ensure the healing of the wound would be effective. At this time, everything is perfect, and I got my teeth back. I salute Dr. Mancuso.

I want to compliment Dr. Vanessa Mancuso on the excellent work she performed on my recent gum operation. I am very grateful to her that the operation was successful. The after-operation care I received from Dr. Vanessa Mancuso was very professional, and the healing process has been smooth.
