Post Op - Simply Wisdom Teeth

Post-Op Tips

Apply ice packs to areas of surgery for the first 36 hours following surgery
After the first 36 hours we recommend transitioning to heat
Do not rinse your mouth for 24 hours.
After 24 hours you may start rinsing with warm salt-water rinses.
A LIQUID DIET IS BEST. Focus on eating foods that do not require chewing.
Do not use a straw
Pick up the prescriptions on your way home or as soon as possible.
If your stitches fall out earlier than 3-4 days, but bleeding is under control, there is no reason to be concerned.

If you are taking the pain medication as directed and are not receiving relief at any time
if you are experiencing bleeding that is uncontrollable – gauze is filling up and becoming saturated within 2-3 minutes after putting the gauze into your mouth
If you are experiencing nausea, pain, itching, or rash of any kind after taking any of the medications.
If your stitches are still in place after one week and they are bothering you
