Dr. Alicia Robertson and our team<\/a> have provided instructions for your post-operation care in Silver Spring, Maryland to ensure that your treatment is safe and comfortable from beginning to end. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit<\/a>, feel free to call our office at 301-588-3310.<\/p> For a successful post-operation experience, the best thing you can do is return for your designated follow-up appointment. This allows our dentist to identify any potential problems and give you further advice. Between visits, however, here is some advice for a smooth recovery. Faithful compliance with these instructions will add to your comfort and hasten recovery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t For pain or discomfort, take aspirin, TYLENOL\u00ae or Empirin Compound in the following dosage or fill the prescription given to you.<\/p> If severe pain occurs, fill pain prescription and take as directed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Some swelling is to be expected. Swelling is not uncommon and need not cause alarm. If swelling should occur, apply an ice bag or a towel filled with cracked ice gently to the affected area at ten minutes on, ten minutes off for one hour. Repeat, if needed, every two hours. Discontinue this procedure after the first twenty-four hours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Some bleeding following tooth extraction is normal. If excessive bleeding persists, try the following:<\/p> If bleeding fails to stop with this treatment, call our office at once.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t A light, soft diet (cereal, soup, eggnog, etc.) is advisable during the first 48 hours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Do not rinse your mouth for at least five hours, as this disturbs formation of a normal clot. Begin the following procedure 24 hours after leaving this office: after meals and at bedtime, apply 10 drops of Gly-Oxide Liquid onto your tongue, mix with salica and gently swish the resultant foam around in the mouth for two to three minutes before expectorating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If nausea or stomach cramps occur, sip ice cold ginger ale, cola drink or juice, one ounce every 10 minutes until discomfort subsides.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If nausea or stomach cramps occur, sip ice cold ginger ale, cola drink or juice, one ounce every 10 minutes until discomfort subsides.<\/p> A slight mouth odor and stiffness of the jaws may be expected.<\/p> Discoloration and slight swelling may be expected when bleeding under the tissue occurs. This is no cause for concern.<\/p> My interest in your case does not cease with the completion of your operation. If any difficulty arises at any time, please call our office or return for treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Una operacion realizada en la cavidad buccal require una serie du cuidados pos operatorios.
