This is because of a combination of factors, including the skill of the oral surgeon, each patient\u2019s overall health, and their compliance with instructions from their care team. Will you soon receive dental implants? This blog post aims to help you heal well by explaining what you should <em>not<\/em> do during your pivotal post-op period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smoking is essentially public enemy number one when it comes to oral health in general, and it can be particularly dangerous after dental implant surgery. It can interfere with blood clot formation, slow your body\u2019s ability to heal, and increase the risk of infections. At the very least, you should abstain from smoking during the weeks immediately before and after your surgery. Of course, it would be better to quit permanently. Speak with your primary care provider for cessation support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vigorous or Rough Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintaining a clean mouth is important, but you must be gentle. Vigorously rinsing and spitting, whether it is with mouthwash or salt water, could disturb your implant sites. If your surgeon instructs you to rinse, do so gently. Similarly, you need to take care when you are brushing and flossing. Avoid directly brushing your implant sites for as long as your oral surgeon instructs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intense Exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intense physical activity can increase blood flow and heighten the risk of bleeding at your surgical sites. Try to take it easy for at least 48 \u2013 72 hours. After that, you can resume gentle workouts, such as light walking. Intense exercise should wait at least a week or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consuming Hard or Hot Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hard and crunchy foods can damage tissues that are already sore from your surgery, and overly hot foods can also cause discomfort. It is best to eat a mild, soft diet as you recover. In fact, you may need to avoid anything that requires chewing during your initial post-op period. That can include items like yogurt, smoothies (without seeds), applesauce, and mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drinking with a Straw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suction caused by drinking through a straw can interfere with the blood clots at your surgical sites. It is best to sip liquids directly from a cup for at least a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drinking Caffeine or Alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The caffeine in coffee can cause blood pressure spikes and might lead to a mild increase in bleeding. Plus, hot coffee can irritate your surgical sites and exacerbate discomfort. Therefore, it would be best to avoid coffee and other caffeinated drinks for at least a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol can also slow down your recovery, and it may cause dangerous interactions with pain medications. You should avoid it until after such medications are out of your system and you feel fairly well-recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no need to be nervous about your dental implant post-op period. If you follow instructions from your care team, you are likely to have a smooth and low-stress experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Meet the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Piney Point Oral &amp; Maxillofacial Surgery is home to five highly skilled oral surgeons with decades of combined experience.
