Painless oral surgery

All medical interventions can cause risks or potential medical complications. We take a huge care of minimizing the possibilities of a complication by treating you by a high qualified medical staff and with high quality materials. All sterilization and hygiene guidelines and all other protocols are being followed. However, not all risks can be excluded.

When you have a big pain that does not stop (you cannot even suppress it with painkillers), when your face gets too swollen or when symptoms do not end in 5-7 days, this can be a sign of a complication.

The wound after tooth extraction, oral surgery or  dental implant procedure needs to be handled according to a range of precautions, which we would like to kindly ask you to considerate during the first hours after your treatment:

• Do not eat or rinse the affected area because of any reason more during this transition period then what was specified.
• During the week after your surgery you will experience an excessive effect in the wound (i.e. the area that was operated), so it is advised to eat on the other side to protect that set.
• Do not to remove the blood clot because that enables the affected area to gain a well-balanced recovery after the surgery.
• Do not eat while being under local anaesthesia (it can last 2-5 hours after your treatment) in order to protect the mucosa; drinking is allowed.
• Do not drink alcohol, coffee, dairies or eggs.
• Avoid physical exertions such as sport, sauna or thermal water.
• Be careful by cleaning the affected area, use a brush with soft and flexible bristles, and feel free to clean the other teeth the way you normally would.
• Avoid using mouth water until complete recovery.
• Do not blow your nose too hard and avoid any hit in case of a maxillary operation. Feel free to use a nose spray as you would normally in case of having a cold or contact your doctor / pharmacist for further advice.
• Sleep on the other side or on your back if it is possible.
• Place a bag of ice on your face or use that pocket you have received at the clinic and put it into the refrigerator to re-use it.
• Apply a moisturizing cream on the face underneath the ice pocket.
• Inform your oral surgeon about abundant postsurgical bleeding, excessive pain, fever and other symptoms that occur after the surgery and all impacts that effect your overall medical condition.

We hope you’ve been given all the necessary pieces of information. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us. MDental Team is at your disposal answering all of them.

• It is not advisable to drive a car right after the surgery.
• Avoid physical exertions such as sport, sauna (they increase the risk of bleeding).
• Place a bag of ice on your face or use the pocket you have received at the clinic. For re-use, put this pocket into the refrigerator. Apply moisturizing cream before putting the ice on your cheek to protect your skin. We recommend to use the ice bag more times on the day of the surgery, 10-20 minutes per occasion. It is also advisable to apply ice on the second and third day after the operation.
• The oral surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, the effect lasts 2-5 hours. Do not eat while being affected to protect the mucosa from any injury. You can drink in the meanwhile.
• Eat on the other side, if it is possible. Avoid consuming alcohol, coffee, milk and other dairies, do not smoke for at least 5-7 days. It is advisable to eat rather soft food like soups, potato puree, etc.
• Do not touch or suck on your wound and do not rinse it because with that you will remove the blood clot which increases the risk of an infection.
• Considering the mouth hygiene recommendations supports the healing process and the successful implementation of the dental implant. The set of the operation can be cleaned with a soft brush, the other teeth can be cleaned normally in the meanwhile. Using mouth water in the first few days after the surgery is strictly forbidden.
• Inform your doctor about abundant postsurgical bleeding, big pain fever or other symptoms that occur after the operation and influencing your general medical state.
