POSTOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Postoperative discomfort is sometimes experienced after a treatment visit. This
is due to irritation of the bone surrounding the tooth and may range from a mild
discomfort in the area to an occasional episode of considerable pain. This discomfort
will usually maximize in approximately 48-72 hours and then subside. Please avoid
chewing on the treated tooth for a few days.
2. If a throbbing sensation occurs please keep your head elevated as much as
possible and place extra pillows under your head when lying down. Avoid as much as
possible any strenuous activity as well.
3. If your tooth has been left open to aid in drainage of an infection, please place
cotton in your tooth as directed. Do not leave the cotton in the tooth between
meals.
4. If swelling of the gum is present or should appear after a treatment visit, please
rinse the area every 1-2 hours with a solution of warm salt water prepared by adding
a teaspoon of salt to an 8 oz. Glass of warm water.
5. If swelling of the face is present or should appear, apply an ice pack to the
area for 5 minutes every ½ hour.
6. If antibiotic medication has been prescribed please take it as indicated until you
have finished ALL of the medication. If you encounter any difficulty in breathing or a
skin rash, or gastric disturbance should occur, please discontinue the medication
