Frequently Asked Questions
Is oral surgery painful?
Oral surgery is typically performed under a combination of local anesthesia and sedation to ensure the patient is comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. After the surgery, some discomfort and swelling are common, but pain can usually be managed with prescribed medications.
Can I eat after oral surgery?
After oral surgery, patients are often advised to stick to soft food or liquid diets for the first few days to avoid putting pressure on the surgical site. It's essential to avoid hot, spicy, and hard foods during the initial recovery period. As healing progresses, patients can gradually reintroduce solid foods based on your doctor's recommendations.
