Things to remember after oral surgery:

Where no suture is involved:

• press gauze on the wound for a period of 15-20 minutes
  
• enni csak a zsibbadás teljes elmúlása után szabad
• do not suck on the wound, flush it out, poke at it or use your tongue to poke out bits from the wound
  
• cleaning the teeth is mandatory; do not touch the wound with brush, but do clean the area around the wound
  
• the wound may appear tender for a couple of days; contact your treating dentist if your condition persists
  

Where suture is involved:

• eat only when the numbness is completely worn off
  
• the affected area may become swollen, discoloured, or painful
  
• swelling may persist for around 3 days from the surgery; then pain and swelling will subside
  
• do not restrict mandibular movements as it can lead to lockjaw
  
• drinking milk or eating dairy, pulpy products is not recommended until suture removal
  
• clean each tooth thoroughly, except the affected area; do not rub around the treatment area, apply massage by gentle sweeping movements
  
• suture will be removed 1 week after surgery
  
• two kinds of drugs may be prescribed: antibiotics (Dalacin C, Augmentin) and pain killers (Cataflam, Flector). Pain killers should be taken only when necessary. Antibiotics, on the other hand, should be taken until the full prescription is finished, even if you fell better.
