After Surgery

Report

Some patients develop a "dry socket." A dry socket is an inflammation of the bone which causes a dull throbbing pain and is not relieved by normal pain medication. Please contact us immediately if you suspect this condition. A dry socket can be easily treated in the office. There will be a space where the tooth was removed.

Before Surgery

Report

If you take medications in the morning on a regular basis, please take these medications with a small sip of water unless you have been instructed otherwise. You will need a responsible adult to accompany you to the appointment, drive you home after the procedure and care for you at home. We recommend stocking up on cold, soft items for the day of surgery such as pudding, ice cream, yogurt, applesauce and Jell-O. You may also want to stock up on warm, soft items for the day after surgery such as soups, pastas, potatoes, and oatmeal.
