These Instructions are to be followed for the next 24 Hours.
- DO NOT SMOKE
- DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
- DO NOT EAT. Any food or drink that is HOT in temperature.
- DO NOT SPIT. If you wish to empty your mouth bend over a sink and let the contents flow out and wipe your lips with a napkin.
ALL OF THE ABOVE CAN CAUSE BLEEDING FROM A FRESH WOUND AND MUST BEVOIDED DURING THE FIRST 24 HOURS.
Do not try to "clean" the surgical area. No mouthwash. No brushing. No rinsing.
Most important of all try to REST. Any physical activity even walking around the house will increase our chance of swelling. The first 24 hour after oral surgery, is the bestime to catch up with books, TV, or internet.
