Oral Surgery/Extractions Children

 

 

 1.  It is not uncommon to feel some discomfort after the numbness has worn off. Take the medications prescribed to you by the doctor.  If the doctor does not prescribe you something, she recommends Children’s Motrin or Advil as needed for pain relief. 

 

 

2.  Bite on gauze with pressure until bleeding stops.  When home, change gauze at least once.

 

 

3.  Do not rinse, swish, or vigorously wash the mouth today.

 

 

4.  Avoid acidic foods or drinks such as pizza, tomatoes, orange juice, etc. for the next 24 hours to avoid gum irritation.

 

 

5.  Eat and drink what you feel like having as soon as you like.  Drink lots of liquids.  If you feel you can not eat easily, soft foods are usually best for the first two days.

 

 

6.  Successful results are accompanied with good post operative care.  Keeping the area clean and keeping any follow up appointments you may have.

 

 

 

Dr. Manlove has been my dentist for quite a while now and her Staff is pleasant, the hygienist are polite and good at what they do, and just as important, they keep very close to their appointment schedule. I think rarely have I ever been there more than an hour unless I just had a problem. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs.

I’m sharing on behalf of my mom. She is an elderly lady who was extremely nervous. Everyone made her feel comfortable. Dr. Manlove listen so respectfully to her concerns, made her feel comfortable, and encouraged her during the appointment.
