In the first 24 hours following your procedure, avoid the following:
Vigorous physical exercise
Drinking through a straw or engaging in any sucking motions
Smoking or using any form of tobacco products
Consuming alcohol
Using strong mouthwashes that contain alcohol
We also recommend the following for a smooth recovery:
Take a non-aspirin pain reliever as needed to ease tenderness or discomfort, such as Ibuprofen, Advil, or Tylenol
Maintain a well-balanced, soft diet during the initial recovery period
Brush your teeth very lightly in the treated area for the first few days. You can resume gentle flossing the following day and return to regular brushing and flossing after 1 week
Use all prescribed rinses and medications as directed by your provider
