Proper care after oral surgery
at BL Ogborn DDS Inc
 Your mouth should be gently
(not vigorously) rinsed with warm salt water the day after
oral surgery.
Add ½ teaspoon salt to one-cup warm water. Be sure to rinse after eating
to keep food particles out of the wisdom tooth extraction site.
At BL Ogborn DDS Inc we recommend you brush your teeth twice daily with a
soft-bristled toothbrush. Brushing your tongue is also advised to
eliminate bad breath and the unpleasant taste that often accompanies
oral surgery. Floss at least
once a day, too.
Follow Dr. Ogborn's
instructions carefully after dental surgery.
Contact Dr. Ogborn
if:
- Numbness doesn't subside within a
few hours;
- You experience nausea or vomiting;
or
- You have severe pain, swelling,
bleeding, or fever in the wisdom tooth extraction area.
