  • Exacerbation of previously gradually relieving pain.

Edema build-up three days after surgery. The mere presence of edema after such a time should not be alarming, but it should gradually disappear three days after the procedure.

Root canal treatment
  • Food should not be bitten or chewed on the side of the root canal treatment until the tooth is completely rebuilt with a filling or a crown. Otherwise, the weakened tooth structure may crack, significantly complicating the treatment.
  • Do not eat while you are under anesthesia
  • After the end of the root canal treatment, there may be (but need not) temporary pain in the treated tooth for about 7 days from the end of the treatment. If necessary, you can take painkillers or anti-inflammatories after consulting your doctor.
  • If you experience any edema (swelling of the cheek), see your doctor.
  • 6 months after the end of the root canal treatment, a control X-ray should be taken.
Filling

Eating out

  • After tooth reconstruction with modern light-curing materials used in our clinic, there are basically no contraindications for eating food or drinking fluids immediately after leaving the dental surgery. In the case of restoration of anterior teeth with highly aesthetic materials, the dentist may recommend avoiding food and coloured liquids for several hours after the procedure.
  • If the procedure was performed under local anaesthesia, food should be avoided until the anaesthesia has subsided, as oral structures can easily be damaged by biting.

Hypersensitivity

In the case of sensitive teeth or deep fillings, in some cases there may be short-term, fading tooth hypersensitivity to stimuli such as temperature (heat, cold) and biting. If there is no improvement or the discomfort worsens within 7 days of the treatment, contact your dentist.

Implants

After the implantation of dental implants, it is necessary to adhere to the following recommendations:

  • oral hygiene should be kept in perfect condition, avoid brushing the implant area until the sutures are removed.
  • antibiotic therapy and painkillers as prescribed by your doctor
  • cold compresses on the first day after the procedure to reduce possible swelling

  • alcohol is forbidden for 7 days after the procedure
  • use of the sauna and solarium is forbidden for one month after the treatment
  • after removing the stitches, brush the postoperative area with a soft brush
  • dentures (if any) cannot be used for a period of 14 days. After this period, dentures should be adapted to the conditions.
  • a soft diet, i.e. the consumption of liquid and semi-liquid foods
  • Occasionally, bruises or hematomas may occur after implantation surgery - this is due to normal healing processes and you should not worry about it.

Scheme of follow-up visits after implantation (unless otherwise recommended by the doctor):

  • removal of stitches 7-10 days after surgery
