Post-operative care after Dental/Oral Surgery

• Swelling after dental or oral surgery is normal. It may last 4 to 7 days. • To minimize swelling, apply an ice pack to your face over the area of your surgery as soon as possible after surgery. Use the ice pack for 20 minutes on then 20 minutes off. Repeat this cycle as needed for the first 6 to 8 hours. ................
