Sunrise Oral Surgery | How to Speed Up Your Recovery After Oral Surgery

September 18, 2019

If it’s your first time to be scheduled for a Sunrise oral surgery, it’s only normal to feel nervous about it. However, if you want to avoid infection and help your mouth recover quickly, you’ll need to apply the following tips:

Get Enough Rest

Rest at home and avoid any physical activity. Overexerting yourself will cause your blood flow to increase. When this happens the blood clots that form as your mouth heals will be dislodged. To reduce bleeding and swelling, be sure to keep your head propped up with pillows. It also helps to use ice to keep the swelling down. To apply, put the ice pack to your face for 15 minutes and then off for another 15 minutes so that you can keep the swelling down.

Take Prescribed Antibiotics

You can steer clear from any chances of getting an infection if you finish the course of your prescribed antibiotics as directed by your dentist or oral surgeon.

Stick to a Liquid or Soft Diet

For the first few days after your Sunrise oral surgery, you will be advised to avoid eating anything except liquids or soft types of food. These include soups, fruit milkshakes, mashed potatoes, yogurts, and smoothies. Be sure to load up on foods rich in vitamin A and C such as sweet potatoes, eggs, fish, and stewed carrots because these can support your healing process.

Keep Your Mouth Clean

After 24 hours have passed since your Sunrise oral surgery, rinse your mouth gently using warm salty water at least four times a day and after taking your meals. Refrain from brushing and flossing the teeth in the surgical area until it has fully healed.
