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.

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.

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.

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.

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