  1. After the first 2 days and for the next 2 WEEKS you should perform oral hygiene procedures in the surgical site with caution. This means brush the gum tissue with light contact. You can rinse with Listerine, salt water or just water if necessary to keep area clean.


  1. Start flossing or using a proxy brush 2 weeks AFTER surgery was completed. You can also use a water pik, however you should use it gently and do not aim it directly at the surgical area. You can start using to water pik directly in the area 4 weeks after surgery.


  1. AVOID eating hard, tough, or rough foods (chips, popcorn, nuts, caramels, steak) during the first two weeks following surgery. It is best to chew in areas of the mouth where surgery was not done.

a. Hold wet gauze or a wet tea bag (tea bag is better) with firm pressure over the bleeding site for no shorter than 15 minutes.

b. If bleeding continues, call the doctor immediately.


9. For pain relief, we recommend Ibuprofen, 600 mg every 6 hrs. If you need additional relief, you can also take Tylenol or Norco every 6 hrs in an alternating dosage with the Ibuprofen. ( ie, alternate meds every 3 hrs)


10. Slight amounts of discomfort and swelling are normal and to be expected following surgery. If the pain becomes severe in spite of medication, or you experience an unusual amount of swelling, call the doctor immediately.
