Depending on the procedures you complete during your treatment, it is expected to feel discomfort for the first few days after your treatment.
Treatment Aftercare Protocols
You can use over-the-counter pain medication as needed, and Dr Asad may also prescribe pain medication for you.
Sticking to soft foods for the first few days after a surgical procedure is also helpful. Here are some ideas:
- Yoghurt
- Applesauce
- Scrambled eggs
- Smoothies
- Oatmeal
Be sure to eat your food at room temperature to avoid burning or irritating your extraction site.
You should also avoid drinking through a straw or smoking cigarettes for at least 72 hours after a surgical procedure.
It's also a good idea to avoid heavy activity or vigorous exercise for the first 72 hours after your procedures. Allow yourself plenty of time to rest and heal; some time away from work may be needed.
