General Aftercare (For All Patients)

Your body is delicate after dental treatment. Please follow these guidelines:

・Avoid Irritation: Avoid chewing hard foods or drinking extremely hot/cold beverages on the treated area.

・Keep Your Blood Pressure Stable: Avoid strenuous exercise, long hot baths, and alcohol today. These can cause increased pain or bleeding.

Rest: Please prioritize resting to help your body heal.

Managing Pain and Infection

If you are experiencing pain or swelling, please understand that medication takes time to work:

・Painkillers: It may take a couple of hours to feel the full effect.
・Antibiotics: These take 12 to 24 hours to start controlling the infection. Much like cold medicine, the effect is gradual.

The Synergy Effect: As the antibiotics reduce the infection, your painkillers will become more effective. It is vital to continue taking them exactly as instructed.
