After Your Procedure
Post-Surgery Guidelines and Recommations:
Precautions for 24 Hours:
Do not attempt to rinse your mouth or spit out liquids; instead, swallow gently.
Avoid touching the surgical site with your fingers or tongue.
Cold Compress Application:
Apply ice packs on each side of your face in intervals of 20 minutes on and 10 minutes off for initial 48 hours. Cold compress helps reduce swelling.
Pn Management:
For minor discomfort, use over-the-counter medications like Tylenol acetaminophen or Ibuprofen every three to four hours.
Use prescription pn relief medication provided if needed for severe pn.
Hydration and Fluid Intake:
Drink plenty of fluids regularly but a straw as it might cause suction that can complicate healing.
Aversion to Smoking:
For at least five days after surgery, refrn from smoking. This can affect wound healing.
Strenuous Activities:
Rest for the first 3-4 days and avoid any physical exertion that could lead to dizziness or weakness due to reduced caloric and fluid intake.
Jaw Muscle Stiffness Relief:
If jaw stiffness occurs, apply warm moist heat externally on the face over stiff muscles.
Cleaning the Surgical Site:
Use a mild saltwater rinse with half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water for gentle cleaning after meals during the first week.
Consider adding mouthwash for taste improvement.
Diet Adjustment:
Follow a diet consisting of soft, easily swallowable foods and cool drinks only. Avoid food items that might get stuck in your teeth like seeds, nuts, rice, popcorn, etc.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or issues with these guidelines.
