What can I do to reduce my risk of complications after oral surgery?

The most effective thing you can do to prevent surgical complications from happening is to give yourself time to recover. In fact, your body requires this to get back to normal. Eat well and get good sleep. Stay in touch with your dentist as well.

How long does it take to recover from oral surgery?

Patient recovery time varies from case to case; the type of surgery also plays a factor. Most minor symptoms like bleeding or nausea will fade after a few hours or 1-2 days. More invasive surgeries like wisdom tooth extraction may take several weeks to fully heal.

What should I do if I experience pain or swelling after oral surgery?

Take medication as prescribed by your dentist to manage the pain and press a cold cloth against the area where there’s swelling. If this persists, be sure to contact your dentist.
