🌟 Post-Op Care Instructions for Gum Graft Treatment at Centre Dentaire NP 🌟
‍

Dear valued patient,

Congratulations on completing your gum graft treatment at Centre Dentaire NP! To ensure a smooth and successful recovery, please adhere to these vital post-op care instructions:

‍

**1. Manage Discomfort:

It's normal to experience some discomfort after the procedure. Take any prescribed or recommended pain relievers as directed by your dentist.

‍

**2. Gentle Oral Hygiene Practices:

Maintain excellent oral hygiene to promote healing. Brush and floss gently, avoiding direct contact with the treated area. Use a mild, non-alcoholic mouthwash as recommended.

‍

**3. Soft Diet Initially:

Stick to a soft diet for the first few days to minimize stress on the grafted area. Opt for foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies. Avoid hot or spicy foods.

‍

**4. Avoid Disturbing the Surgical Site:

Refrain from touching the surgical site with your fingers, tongue, or any objects. Allow the graft to settle undisturbed for optimal integration.

‍

**5. Ice Packs for Swelling:

If you experience swelling, apply an ice pack wrapped in a thin cloth to the outside of your face for short intervals. This can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

‍

**6. Complete Your Prescribed Medications:

Finish any prescribed antibiotics or medications as advised by your dentist. This helps prevent infection and supports the healing process.

‍

**7. Limit Physical Activity:

Avoid strenuous physical activities for the first few days to prevent any unnecessary strain on the grafted area.

‍

**8. Stay Hydrated:

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, promoting overall health and aiding in the recovery process.

‍

**9. Follow-Up Appointments:

• Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to allow our team to monitor your progress and address any questions or concerns.
  ‍

**10. Abstain from Smoking and Alcohol:

• Refrain from smoking during the initial healing period, as it can impede the healing process. Limit alcohol consumption to support overall health.
  ‍

**11. Contact Us if Needed:
