If you are looking for an endodontist in Utah, our team of professionals is experienced in general procedures and complex oral surgeries. At Greater Endodontics, our goal is to provide you with a healthy smile while minimizing pain and discomfort. Our anesthetics team keeps patients relaxed and pain free during dental procedures or oral surgeries. Once your procedure is complete, however, you should expect some healing time. Simple procedures like cleanings or fillings generally feel better right after your anesthesia wears off, but more complex surgeries will need longer healing time.
While Each Procedure Is Different, We Recommend The Following Basic Aftercare Tips:
- Don’t chew on the side of your mouth that is numb from anesthetic, or you could accidentally bite your tongue or cheek.
- Rest for at least 24 hours and drink plenty of fluids.
- Your mouth may feel sore for a few days after, depending on your procedure. Take pain medications as your dentist recommends.
- If you have had an extraction, you will need to follow careful instructions regarding the formation of your blood clot.
- Eat soft foods and warm liquids following oral surgery.
