Implants
-
​Wait a few hours after surgery before eating. Eat very soft foods, and chew lightly for 2-3 days. Avoid spicy, hot, and acidic foods.
-
Brush and floss your teeth gently around the implant. Pull your floss through instead of lifting your floss.
-
24 hours after the procedure, gently rinse with some warm salt water.
-
If you were prescribed antibiotics, make sure to take the antibiotics for the full duration prescribed.
-
If you're experiencing mild pain, use over-the-counter pain medication (i.e. aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc...)
-
If you experience extreme pain, inflammation, or discomfort even after taking over-the-counter medication, call your dentist.
-
Return for a follow-up examination to ensure that your implant is healing properly.
