After your surgery

If you have undergone an oral surgical procedure then it is important to review and follow the simple post operative instructions. The surgeon and/or nurse will have discussed your post operative care and also issued these instructions in the form of a pamphlet.  A copy of this can also be found under our Forms and Downloads tab. 

Each patient recovers differently after surgery but it is likely that you may experience some discomfort and swelling for a few days which may continue for a week or so after your operation, depending on your procedure.  Please take your pain relief regularly as well as your antibiotics if subscribed.  To maximise your recovery please remember to follow your post operative instructions as well as get plenty of rest. 

Please do not hesitate to contact the surgery if you have concerns regarding your post op recovery.
