Generally, you may be advised to avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for the first 24 hours, refrain from smoking or drinking through a straw, and stick to a soft diet for a few days to prevent any strain on the surgical area. Your dentist may prescribe pain medication or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the outside of the affected area can help reduce swelling and alleviate pain.

Ensuring cleanliness and preventing infection is another vital aspect of post-operative care. Your dentist will likely suggest gently rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater a few times a day to keep the surgical area clean. It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene throughout the recovery period, but caution should be exercised while brushing or flossing near the surgical site to avoid irritation or injury.
