Of course, the surgical procedure can be big or small, but if you do not do the necessary things after the operation properly, you will suffer all kinds of trouble. Especially if it is in an environment that contains as many bacteria as the mouth and is constantly polluted by what we eat or drink, the results of this surgical procedure can be much worse. For this reason, I tried to prepare a list of things that may happen to you and things you should pay attention to. I hope you find it useful.
1. You will have pain, especially in the first two days following the operation. It is very normal, you can use painkillers during this period. You can even take painkillers, in accordance with your doctor's advice, before the numbness in the operation area subsides. Your doctor will determine the appropriate painkiller for you, but since it will increase the risk of bleeding, you may use aspirin or similar painkillers to reduce the bruises. It will happen, do not be afraid. It will be useful to apply cold for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling. Also, using a high pillow while sleeping at night and using cortisone in accordance with your doctor's advice are other ways to help reduce swelling after the operation.
3. Following the operation. Bleeding in the form of small leaks is normal for 24 hours. Do not spit or rinse during these 24 hours, otherwise you will start the bleeding that has stopped again and again by disrupting the clot formed on the wound. If you have paid attention to all these but the bleeding still continues, apply a clean, tight gauze to the operation area. Bite it. Hold the tampon tightly without moving it for at least half an hour. Never use cotton or napkins to make a tampon. Do not keep the tampon in your mouth for more than an hour. If bleeding still continues, consult your physician.
4.After the operation, do not use cotton or napkins for two hours. Do not eat anything. To control bleeding and ensure healthy healing of the wound area, do not smoke or drink alcohol for at least 24 hours. Avoid very hot and very cold foods and drinks, and taking very hot baths towards your face for two days. Do not chew on the procedure area for 7-10 days. The clot in the extraction area will turn into gum during this period.
5. Be sure to pay attention to your nutrition. Consume soft and liquid foods in warm form on the first day. You will be healthy and your wounds will also heal healthily.
6. Do not touch the operation area with a toothbrush for the first 24 hours. During this period, you can clean the wound area with soft movements with the help of your finger and a clean gauze. In the following days, clean it with slow and careful movements, using a toothbrush. Do not neglect it. If your doctor recommends it, you can start using mouthwash from the second day. If you experience severe pain for the 2nd and 3rd time after the operation, be sure to consult your doctor, the wound area may need to be dressed.
7. After the operation, your doctor will do the same. If not specified, it should be removed within 7-10 days. If your stitches fall out within the first three days, be sure to consult your doctor. Be careful not to force your stitches when yawning, sneezing or chewing, do not constantly feel the operation area with your tongue or hand.
8.After the procedure. If you have any medications prescribed by your doctor, use them regularly and fully. Contact your doctor if you experience an unexpected problem.
9. Almost all operations performed into the mouth will not interfere with your activities during the day. However, for the first day, heavy sports, housework Avoid activities such as these.
10. If you still have swelling or bruising on your face 36 hours after the operation, you can apply a hot compress. Heat will increase blood circulation and allow the edema in the procedure area to resolve more quickly.
All of these recommendations. It will help you recover more comfortably and quickly after the operation. Get well soon...
