After treatment

Follow the treating team’s instructions for the surgical area. Ask them about cleaning, eating, activity and any medicines rather than relying on general advice.

Your dental team’s advice comes first.

Experiences and care instructions vary. This guide cannot assess your health or tell you whether healing is progressing normally.
