Simple recovery guidance after common dental treatments.
Mild oozing, soreness and swelling can occur after an extraction.
Bite on gauze as directed, rest, use a cold pack if advised and choose soft foods.
Avoid smoking or vaping, straws, forceful spitting and vigorous rinsing during the early healing period.
Call for heavy bleeding that will not slow, worsening swelling, fever, severe pain, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
Some tenderness, swelling and minor bruising can be expected.
Keep the area clean exactly as instructed and choose softer foods while the site is tender.
Do not disturb the surgical area or chew directly on it until your dentist says it is okay.
Call for persistent bleeding, increasing swelling, fever, severe pain, or if anything at the implant site feels loose.
The tooth and surrounding area may feel tender for a few days.
Wait until numbness is gone before chewing and follow medication instructions provided by your dentist.
If you have a temporary restoration, avoid hard or sticky foods on that tooth.
Call for visible swelling, severe or worsening pain, a bite that feels unusually high, or a temporary filling or crown that comes out.
Mild gum tenderness or temperature sensitivity may occur.
Brush gently and follow the flossing instructions given by the office.
With a temporary crown or bridge, avoid very hard or sticky foods.
Call if the restoration feels loose, comes off, your bite feels wrong, or you develop severe pain or swelling.
Temporary gum tenderness, minor bleeding and tooth sensitivity can occur.
Continue gentle brushing and cleaning between the teeth as directed.
Avoid foods or drinks that make sensitivity uncomfortable until the area settles.
Call for bleeding that will not stop, worsening swelling, fever or pain that is getting significantly worse.
Mild sensitivity can occur after a filling.
Wait for numbness to wear off before chewing so you do not accidentally bite your cheek or tongue.
Call if pain is severe or persistent, or if the tooth feels too high when you bite.
New dentures can cause temporary pressure areas while your mouth adjusts.
Wear, remove and clean your denture according to the instructions given by the office.
Do not grind, bend or adjust the denture yourself.
Call for persistent sore spots, difficulty wearing the denture, or if it cracks or breaks.
Light pressure or tenderness is common when starting a new aligner.
Wear your aligners for the schedule prescribed by your dentist and keep them clean.
Remove aligners for food and for drinks other than plain water unless your dentist has told you otherwise.
Call if an aligner is lost, damaged, has a sharp edge, or no longer fits as expected.
