‍

Dear valued patient,

Congratulations on completing your wisdom teeth removal at Centre Dentaire NP!
To ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery, please follow these essential post-op care instructions:

‍

**1. Manage Discomfort:

It's common to experience some discomfort after the procedure. Take any prescribed or recommended pain relievers as directed by your dentist. Over-the-counter options may also be suitable.

‍

**2. Oral Hygiene is Key:

Maintain excellent oral hygiene to prevent infection. Gently brush your teeth, avoiding the surgical sites for the first few days. Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater as advised by your dentist.

‍

**3. Soft Diet Initially:

Stick to a soft diet for the initial days to ease chewing and minimize stress on the surgical areas. Opt for foods like yogurt, soup, mashed potatoes, and smoothies.

‍

**4. 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 provide relief.

‍

**5. Limit Physical Activity:

Avoid strenuous physical activities for the first few days to promote healing and reduce the risk of bleeding.

‍

**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. Avoid Disturbing Blood Clots:

Be cautious not to disturb the blood clots forming in the surgical sites. Avoid vigorous rinsing, spitting, or using straws for the initial days.

‍

**8. Stay Hydrated:

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which aids in overall health and recovery.

‍

**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 recovery process. Limit alcohol consumption to support overall health.

‍

**11. Contact Us if Needed:
