1. POSTTREATMENTCARE
Routine oral hygiene
It is very important to maintain your daily dental care regimen.
o Brushing:
Brush your teeth after every meal with prescribed fluoridated
toothpaste and a soft bristle toothbrush. Brush in a circular
motion over every surface of your teeth.

2. o Flossing:
Flossing helps to break down the tartar that builds up
between the teeth and gums where brush might not
clean properly. Gently floss between your teeth and
gums and it will result in healthy gums that do not
bleed during flossing.
o Regular Cleanings:
It is recommended to have your teeth cleaned every six months to help prevent any
dental cavities or tartar build-up. Please contact us and we will schedule it for you.

3. DENTURES
We want our patients to go home feeling content and
confident. After giving denture, patients are
apprehensive about them as it is new for their routine
and it takes time to adjust to it. So here is what you need
to know:

4. o ADJUSTMENTPERIOD
 Eating: Eating may feel slightly awkward and uncomfortable during the first few days
following your denture placement. One may also notice an increase in the amount of saliva
production.
o Speaking:
 Patients have difficulty during initial time after wearing denture to say words.
But as you practice difficult words, the muscles, jaw bones, and tongue will
begin to become stronger and know how to interact with one another as you
speak.
o DailyMouthCare:
 It is very important that you do NOT wear the dentures at night for the first seven days.
Your gums and jawbones need rest after wearing denture the whole day.

5. BRIDGE ANDCROWNS
 After the crownplacement:
If anesthesia was used, your lips and tongue might feel numb for
some hours. Be careful to avoid biting your cheek, tongue, or lips.
The tooth may be sensitive to pressure, sweet foods, or different
temperatures but if it persists longer than four weeks, you will need
to contact your dentist as soon as possible.

6.  Taking Care of Temporary Crown:
We recommend you to avoid sticky foods such as gum or other types of candy. Try not to
eat in the side of the mouth that received the temporary crown. Do not eat hard fruits or
vegetables such as carrots or apples as hardness of these types of foods may also cause the
temporary crown to get lose and fall off. If your crown gets loose, contact your dentist.
 DailyMouthCare:
Crown requires the same amount of care as natural teeth. Make sure to brush your teeth
after every meal and floss daily. We recommend that you have your teeth cleaned every 6
months.

7. TOOTH EXTRACTION
o Bleeding will occur for the first few hours
following the procedure. Therefore it is advised to
bite down on clean moist gauze placed over the
socket for 30-45 minutes; the pressure will help
prevent bleeding. If bleeding persists longer than
24 hours, contact our office immediately.

8. o Do not rinse or spit for the first 24 hours.
After the first day, rinse your mouth with
warm saltwater three times a day to reduce
any swelling.
o Do not smoke, drink hot liquids,
carbonate drinks, or use straws. These
actions can cause loosening of the
blood clot which will prolong the
healing process.

9.  Sleep with you head elevated (recliner or an extra pillow).
 Your lips and tongue may feel numb due to anesthesia for a
few hours. Therefore be careful when you chew your food
to avoid biting your cheek, tongue, or lips. If the numbness
persists longer than 24 hours, please contact us immediately.
 Swelling in the area of extraction is normal. To help reduce
swelling, wrap an ice pack in a washcloth; place it on the
area from where the tooth was removed from cheek side.

10.  Try to eat from the opposite site of extraction. If
all four teeth were removed, eat cold, soft food
only such as pudding.
 Difficulty in opening jaw is common following
extractions and will return to normal in a few
days.
 You may experience pain during your recovery.
Over the counter pain medications can be used for
relief.

11.  When you brush your teeth avoid the teeth next
too where the extracted tooth was present for the
first 24 hours.
 Most importantly rest and relax. Doing too much
physical activity may hinder the healing process
