Post Operative Instructions
• Take it easy for the rest of the day!
• Avoid eating and drinking for the next two hours, especially if you are still numb.
• Avoid HOT fluids, alcohol, and hard or chewy foods. Choose cool and soft foods today and tomorrow; the soft diet should continue until we see again.
• Cold Packs. When you get home, apply an ice pack contained within a flannel (a pack of frozen peas or sweet corn is ideal) on the face over the treated area. After 20 minutes, remove it and place pack back in freezer for 20 minutes-then reapply. Continue this regime all day. This procedure will reduce swelling considerably. Repeat for a total of 4 days.
• Bleeding is rarely a major issue after surgery. Slight oozing of blood from the surgical site may be ignored. If bleeding that concerns you occurs, apply gentle pressure to the site for a full 10minutes. Pressure should be applied by rolling a clean handkerchief into a pad, placing it directly over the gum and pressing on it.
• Pain Relief. Take analgesics like Nurofen as directed on the pack (max 1200mg in 24hrs) for the rest of the day and tomorrow if needed. If you have been advised not to take aspirin or ibuprofen, take paracetamol instead.
Take it easy for the rest of the day, use ice packs on and off to minimise swelling.
• Tooth brushing; don’t brush around the surgical site until we see you again for review. Use CORSDODYL mouthwash after you have brushed & flossed your other teeth. Don’t rinse your mouth with water or any other solution after you have used Corsodyl. Remember Corsodyl stains plaque so to avoid staining ensure that your teeth are plaque free.
• Don’t be tempted to stretch your lip or check our handiwork – try not to disturb the tissues and sutures for 24 hours.
• To improve comfort and help the healing process, use hot salty water mouthwashes every four hours or so, commencing the day after surgery, and continue for 2-3days. Add one teaspoon of salt to a tumbler of HOT water – take a mouthful at a time and let it bathe the operation site until it cools, then repeat.
• The next appointment is to remove any sutures; it will only take a few minutes and should not be uncomfortable.
• It is important that we review the success of the procedure in the future. We shall contact you at the appropriate time to arrange this appointment.
If you are at all concerned, please do ring the surgery.
