Post-Operative Instructions
Your procedure-specific instructions from the dental team always come first. Use this page as a reminder of what to watch for and when to call.
Protect the treatment area
Follow the eating, cleaning, medication, and activity directions given at your visit. Avoid disturbing the area unless your dentist instructed you to clean it.
- Take only medications directed for you
- Keep follow-up appointments
- Use cold or warm compresses only as instructed
- Choose foods that match your procedure instructions
When to call
Contact the office if pain, swelling, bleeding, fever, or another symptom is worsening or different from what your team described. Seek emergency medical help for trouble breathing or swallowing.
