Patient Aftercare & Guidelines

Official clinical instructions before and after dental procedures for safe, comfortable, and predictable recovery.

These guidelines are based on our clinic’s approved standard surgical and therapeutic protocols. If your dentist provided specific personal instructions, always follow those. In case of increasing pain, severe swelling, or bleeding, please contact the clinic immediately.

01 / EXTRACTION

Surgery: Post-Extraction Care Guidelines

↑ Top

Practical care instructions covering diet, pain management, hygiene, and socket healing after tooth extraction.

  1. 01.Do not eat or drink for 2 hours following the extraction. Do not rinse your mouth.
  2. 02.Apply a cold compress externally to the cheek for the first 2 hours (15–20 min on, 5–10 min off).
  3. 03.To control minor bleeding: bite gently on a sterile gauze/swab moistened in saline solution (1 tsp salt per glass of water) for 5–10 minutes.
  4. 04.Swelling is a natural surgical response that may peak over the first 2–3 days and resolve within 4–6 days.
  5. 05.Diet: Avoid hot food on the day of surgery. Eat warm liquid and soft foods (soups, purées, porridge, juices) chewing strictly on the opposite side for 3–6 days.
  6. 06.Strictly avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 48–72 hours.
  7. 07.Oral hygiene: Brush remaining teeth carefully after meals, avoiding the extraction site for 5–10 days. Clean adjacent teeth gently with a cotton swab soaked in 0.05% chlorhexidine.
  8. 08.Do not vigorously rinse or spit for 7 days to preserve the vital blood clot within the socket.
  9. 09.Avoid strenuous exercise, lifting, hot baths, and saunas for at least 3 days. Sleep with your head elevated on an extra pillow for the first 2 nights.
  10. 10.Take medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor (non-aspirin analgesics as directed). Non-resorbable sutures are typically removed on day 7.

  4. 04.Take your routine daily medications unless specifically instructed otherwise by your doctor.
  5. 05.Do not take aspirin or other blood-thinning medications for at least 10 days prior to the scheduled surgery.

  8. 08.If surgery is performed under IV sedation with an anesthesiologist, follow specific pre-anesthetic fasting guidelines.

Implantology: Post-Operative Care Guidelines

14-day rehabilitation protocol for optimal osseointegration, comfort, and smooth tissue recovery.

  1. 01.Do not eat or drink for 2 hours after surgery. Strictly refrain from smoking on day one.
  2. 02.Cold therapy: Apply an ice pack externally for 15 minutes with 10-minute intervals during the first hours to reduce swelling.
  3. 03.While local anesthesia wears off, take care not to accidentally bite your lips, cheeks, or tongue.
  4. 04.Diet progression: Liquid warm diet for the first 3–6 days (broths, soups, smoothies), followed by soft foods for the next 6 days (purées, eggs, fish).
  5. 05.Antiseptic oral baths: Gently hold 0.05% chlorhexidine or chamomile tea at room temperature in your mouth after meals for 7 days (avoid active swishing).
  6. 06.Hygiene: Brush other teeth 3 times daily; swab teeth adjacent to the implant site with a chlorhexidine-moistened cotton tip.
  7. 07.Sleep: Sleep with your head elevated on an extra pillow for the first 2 nights to support venous drainage.
  8. 08.Do not wear previously made removable dentures without your doctor’s explicit approval to prevent pressure on new implants.
  9. 09.Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and heavy workouts for 2 weeks.
  10. 10.Sutures are removed after 7–14 days. Take all prescribed medications faithfully and attend all scheduled follow-up visits.
04 / FILLING

Therapy: After Fillings & Restorations

↑ Top

Guidelines on aftercare, diet, and recovery following therapeutic composite fillings and restorations.

  1. 01.Avoid eating until local anesthesia has completely worn off to prevent accidental biting of cheeks or tongue.
  2. 02.Mild sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures for several days is normal as the tooth settles.
  3. 03.If the restoration feels high when biting or interferes with your normal chewing, contact the clinic for a quick micro-adjustment.
  4. 04.Maintain daily brushing twice a day and clean interdental spaces regularly with dental floss or interdental brushes.
05 / HYGIENE

Hygiene: After Professional Cleaning

↑ Top

Guidelines on hygiene and white diet to sustain the cleanest, brightest outcome for your enamel.

  1. 01.Avoid coffee, tea, wine and other staining foods for 24–48 hours.
