Home Care for Periodonatal Surgery

After receiving your new bridge, make sure you take care of it by following these simple directions:

  • Take it easy after your procedure, use gauze in your mouth if there is still bleeding
  • If an anesthetic was used to perform your procedure, try not to chew any food or gum until the numbness has ended.
  • Resume normal brushing avoiding treated area
  • Take your medications or antibiotics (if prescribed) as stated
  • Rinse your mouth with salt water up to 3 times a day to reduce swelling

You will most likely have discomfort for a few days after your procedure, however if bleeding does not stop or pain increases, please call our office with your concerns.
