Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
How much recovery time do I need after oral surgery?
The recovery time after oral surgery varies depending on factors such as the specific procedure, age, and other medical conditions. Your dentist will inform you about the anticipated recovery time for your specific procedure and any restrictions or limitations you should follow during the recovery period.
Will I have pain during and after my oral surgery?
During your oral surgery, you will be given medication to eliminate pain and reduce discomfort. You may experience some pressure, but if you feel any pain, it’s important to inform your dentist. After the procedure, you will receive instructions on how to manage any anticipated post-surgical pain, which may include over-the-counter or prescription pain medication. If your pain becomes unbearable or suddenly worsens, it is advisable to contact your dentist immediately.
Will I have restrictions on food or activities after my oral surgery?
It is possible to have restrictions on what you can eat, drink, and certain physical activities following oral surgery. Your dentist will provide you with specific instructions regarding any dietary restrictions and limitations on activities based on your procedure. It is important to follow these instructions to promote proper healing and minimize complications.
Can’t you just give me a hydrocodone instead of ibuprofen?
We understand you’re in pain, and we want to help you manage it effectively. While hydrocodone is a strong pain reliever, it also carries a higher risk of side effects and potential for dependence. Ibuprofen is often very effective for dental pain and has a lower risk profile. We’ll start with ibuprofen, and if it’s not adequately controlling your pain, we can discuss other options. Our practice follows strict guidelines for prescribing opioid medications like hydrocodone. These are reserved for cases of severe pain that don’t respond to other treatments. Let’s try ibuprofen first, and if it’s not enough, we’ll re-evaluate and consider alternatives.
Can’t you just call in my Rx?
To comply with regulations and ensure patient safety, we provide written prescriptions that you can take to the pharmacy of your choice. For your safety, our policy is to provide you with a written prescription. This allows you to discuss the medication with your pharmacist, understand the instructions fully, and ask any questions you might have.
