Common Questions About Oral Surgery
When would I need oral surgery?
Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. Sometimes, you need to have teeth removed to make room for dentures or another dental restoration. We may recommend a bone graft to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants.
When can I exercise after oral surgery?
We recommend not exercising at all for the first 24 hours after oral surgery. Trying to do too much too soon can actually prolong healing. Vigorous exercise can loosen the blood clot on an extraction site and lead to a painful dry socket. For the next few days, a patient should limit activities to low-impact exercises as a precaution.
Is there much pain after oral surgery?
The type of oral surgery you have will ultimately determine how much discomfort you feel, but our goal is always to provide the most comfortable dental care we can. For most of the oral surgery procedures we perform, over-the-counter pain relievers will take care of any discomfort. If needed, your dentist can prescribe something stronger to help you through the healing process.
