Aftercare
Oral Hygiene
Excellent oral hygiene is very important and using a Chlorhexidine mouthwash twice on the day before the procedure and on the morning of the procedure (if you are not allergic to it) is a good idea and reduces the chance of infection. After the surgery you cannot brush the area until informed that it is OK to do so. Brush everywhere else and use the mouthwash twice a day to keep the surgical area clean.
Stitches
There will be some stitches in place after the surgery. These are usually non-dissolving and need to stay in place for 1 – 2 weeks. Try not to play with the stitches with your tongue even though they may be annoying.
Food
After these procedures, it’s important not to bite into anything until informed that it’s ok to do so. This is because the gum needs to stay still so that it can heal in the right place. Soft foods such as fish pie, mashed potatoes etc are good examples of what to eat. Try not to look at the area of surgery so as to avoid pulling on the stitches.
