Here at Alta Loma Dental Care, we are dedicated to providing our dental patients with quality dental care from the time of your in-office experience to your at-home preventative, maintenance, and recovery care. That’s why we provide our Rancho Cucamonga, CA patients with detailed home care tips and instructions, including surgical instructions after an impacted tooth.
After oral surgery for an impacted tooth or wisdom tooth, it is important to follow our post-surgical instructions to a T. This will help to minimize discomfort, swelling, and support proper healing. General surgical instructions after an impacted tooth include:
- · Proper use of gauze pads
- · Avoiding rinsing vigorously prematurely
- · Keeping the surgical site clean
- · Utilizing ice to minimize swelling
- · Taking pain medications as indicated by us for discomfort
- · Using a mouth rinse containing warm water and salt
Keep in mind, these are just general instructions. You will be given a full set of detailed instructions that are meant to make your recovery from oral surgery as smooth and unremarkable as possible. However, if at any time post-surgery you have questions or concerns about your recovery from oral surgery for an impacted tooth, be sure to call our Alta Loma Dental Care office in Rancho Cucamonga, CA at (909) 987-6268.
