Post OP Instructions

  • Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)

    After a deep cleaning (scaling/root planning) you may experience some cold/heat sensitivity and your gums may be tender. This typically will resolve in several days.


    It is imperative that you continue with your home care.

    If discomfort persists for more than a few days or if you have any questions, please contact our office.

  • Restorations (Fillings)

    Do not chew on the treated side until all effects of the anesthesia have resolved.

    Occasionally you may experience cold/heat sensitivity – typically will diminish in a few days.


    If discomfort persists for more than a few days or if you have any questions, please contact our office.

  • Crowns, Bridges, Onlays

    We can provide you with a complete crown or onlay in as little as 90 minutes utilizing 3D Cad-Cam Technology (Cerec).

    Bridges typically will be done in 2 visits. At the initial appointment the teeth are prepared, impressions taken and a temporary bridge fabricated. The subsequent appointment will be scheduled to place the final restoration. In the interim, temporaries are fabricated with an acrylic-like material, which is designed to protect and stabilize the prepared teeth. Please be cautious with chewing hard substances during this temporization period. If the temporary does become loosened, contact our office immediately.

    If discomfort persists for more than a few days or if you have any questions, please call our office

  • Root Canal Therapy

    Dramatic resolution of moderate/severe pain typically occurs with the first visit. In some situations there may be a lingering discomfort during the healing process, but will resolve in a few days. If a prescription was given, take prescribed medication per the regimen indicated. A temporary restoration has been placed to seal the treatment area. Please be cautious with chewing hard substances during this temporization period. Provide home care for this area as directed.

    Insure that your follow-up visit for a permanent restoration has been scheduled. Any delay in a final restoration places this tooth at risk.

    If discomfort or swelling persists for more than a few days, or if you have any questions, contact our office.


  • Removable Prosthesis(Dentures/Partials)

    New prosthesis require a period of acclimation and typically will require several adjustments to feel fully comfortable. It may take a few days for your speech to be without effort. This is part of the acclimation process. We recommend practicing speaking, eg. reading a book, to help your tongue and oral muscles to become acclimated to the new prosthesis. Clean your prosthesis with a brush as directed.

    Remove the prosthesis every night, perform home care as directed and place in a clean container with water (denture cleanser optional).

    Contact our office if there is continuous discomfort or if you have any questions.

  • Extractions

    Pressure should be applied to the gauze pad placed over the extraction site for one hour. If necessary, replace the original gauze pad with the ones supplied. If bleeding continues after an hour, place a new pad over the site and apply pressure for an additional 45 minutes. Take prescribed medication per the regimen indicated. Avoid eating on the treated side the first 48 hours, especially any hot liquid/foods. Do not rinse your mouth or use a straw for the first 24 hours. Begin gentle rinsing after 24 hours. Do not brush this area for 48 hours. The first 2-3 days post surgery, your diet should consist of soft food and liquids. No smoking the first 72 hours.


    Contact our office if there is bleeding, severe pain, swelling or if you have any questions.

FAQs

  • Do I have to floss?

    Yes! Flossing removed the bacterial plaque which accumulates between your teeth. Brushing alone cannot remove this. Over time this un-cleaned bacteria can cause decay between your teeth

  • How long should I brush my teeth?

    You should brush your teeth at least 2-3 minutes twice a day. Get into a routine and always start and end in the same place. That way you will make sure not to miss any parts of your mouth. Unfortunately, most Americans only brush for 45-60 seconds twice a day, and that is just not enough. Many new mechanical toothbrushes have built in timers to help you brush the proper length of time.

  • Should I rinse with a mouthwash?

    The use of a mouthwash is fine to give yourself a fresh feeling. Try to use an alcohol free mouthwash if possible. Mouthwashes which contain alcohol can dry out the lining of your mouth and decrease saliva flow. Both of these symptoms can contribute to increased bacterial growth and lessen the mouths natural defenses.

  • What toothpaste should I use?

    It does not matter what brand of toothpaste you use as long as it contains Fluoride. Just choose a toothpaste that has a pleasant flavor for you.

  • When I cannot brush my teeth, is there anything that I can do to slow down acid production?

    Rinse your mouth with water after a meal or snack to neutralize acid and reduce bacteria by 30%. Also chewing sugarless gum or gum containing Xylotol has been shown to decrease the incidence of decay.

  • Will a whitening toothpaste really whiten my teeth?

    Not entirely. Whitening toothpastes will reverse the effects of some surface stains, but not change the shade of the teeth themselves. The change is usually minimal.

  • Do over-the-counter bleaching products work?

    There is some evidence that over-the-counter bleaching products do whiten teeth, however these products are not used under the supervision of your dentist and There may be potential problems which may need attention prior to whitening in this Way. Also, the trays usually sold with these products do fit as well as those that are custom made by your dentist. As a result, damage to your gums and teeth is possible.

  • What can be done for ulcers or canker sores in the mouth?

    Ulcers are very difficult to treat. There is no proven technique that will eliminate ulcers. They can occur as a result of trauma or due to a viral source. Depending on their cause there are specific medications that can shorten their duration. Left alone, ulcers will generally diminish and disappear in two weeks.

  • What causes bad breath?

    Bad breath or halitosis, can be caused by many things. The most common cause is the presence of bacteria in your mouth and on your tongue. These bacteria produce odorous compounds. In some cases, the cause of bad breath can be from gastrointestinal origin.

  • What causes tooth decay?

    Tooth decay is caused by bacteria (plaque) in your mouth which react with sugary and starchy deposits from food you eat. This reaction produces acid which damages the enamel over time and weakens the tooth.

  • Why are my teeth sensitive to cold?

    Cold sensitivity can be due a number of reasons. Some people are just generally more sensitive to temperature changes. Other causes may be due to recession of the gum tissue, abrasions of the teeth, large metal restorations or decay. Treatments for this condition can include fillings, fluoride applications or the use of desensitizing toothpastes.

  • Why do my gums bleed?

    Your gums bleed as a result of inflammation caused by the presence of bacteria in your mouth. This bacteria when not properly cleaned off your teeth will result in an irritation of the gum tissue. This irritation called gingivitis, will result in red, puffy and bleeding gums. Gone untreated, it can progress into periodontal disease.

  • What Are We Doing For Infection Control?

    Our team strictly follows the protocols as set forth by the various governmental agencies: EPA, CDC, and OSHA. We have adopted strict controls even prior to becoming the standard for the protection of our patients and staff alike.


    All instrumentation is sterilized, operatory countertops and associated surfaces are disinfected, and staff members utilize gloves, masks, and anti-bacterial hand wash.


    We offer even a higher level of sterilization (Class B) which is utilized in hospital operating rooms.
