Hello! Welcome to Dent Laracity Dental Clinic.
How can we assist you today?
Our experienced team is here to help you with any questions you may have.
Dental treatment is not limited to the procedures performed at the clinic. Post-treatment care plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of the treatment and a smooth healing process.
As Dent Laracity Dental Clinic, we have compiled key points that our patients should pay attention to for a healthy recovery after treatment.
The first 24 hours after dental treatment are particularly important. There are several essential steps that should or should not be taken during this period.
Important Points:
Avoid eating or drinking anything for the first two hours.
Do not touch or chew on the treated area.
Avoid hot food and drinks until the anesthesia completely wears off to prevent accidental biting.
Do not spit, rinse your mouth, or use a straw, as this can dislodge the blood clot, especially after tooth extraction.
Some dental treatments (especially surgeries, extractions, or root canal treatments) may cause mild pain and swelling, which is normal.
What to Do:
Use the pain relievers prescribed by your dentist as directed.
Apply cold compresses (ice packs) intermittently on the first day to reduce swelling.
Contact your dentist immediately in case of severe pain, bleeding, or fever.
Proper nutrition after treatment speeds up the healing process.
Recommended Eating Guidelines:
Consume soft, lukewarm, and easy-to-chew foods for the first 1-2 days.
Avoid hard, hot, spicy, or sticky foods.
Avoid alcohol and smoking as they slow down healing—stop completely for a few days if possible.
Do not neglect your oral hygiene after treatment, but take care not to harm the treated area.
Recommended Practices:
Brush your teeth gently.
Avoid brushing the treated area directly for a few days.
Use antiseptic mouthwash only if recommended by your dentist.
Post-treatment check-ups are essential to ensure proper healing.
Follow your dentist’s recommended schedule, especially after procedures like root canal treatments, implants, or surgeries.
If stitches were placed during your treatment:
Avoid brushing or disturbing the stitched area.
Visit the clinic on the scheduled date to have the stitches removed.
Inform your dentist if you notice any bad odor, swelling, or pain around the stitches.
Sensitivity and mild pain are common after root canal treatment.
Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth to prevent fractures.
Typically, a dental crown is recommended after root canal treatment—do not skip this step.
The first 48 hours after implant treatment are especially critical.
Strictly follow your dentist’s post-operative care instructions to support healing.
Avoid sports, heavy exercise, saunas, or strenuous physical activities for several days.
The success of dental treatment depends not only on the procedures performed at the clinic but also on the care you take afterward.
At Dent Laracity Dental Clinic, we continue to guide our patients during the post-treatment period, ensuring a smooth and healthy recovery with personalized care and support.
We are always happy to guide you through every stage of your post-treatment recovery.
