Prepare for relaxation
Depending on the procedure, you may want to take a day or two off of work, and you may even want to ask someone to help out around the house. You should let yourself nap if you feel like it, and make sure you have a comfy spot all ready if you just want to veg in front of the TV. Get your favorite book to have ready nearby, and don’t forget to get fresh batteries for the remote.
Prepare the kitchen
You may not be in the mood for a big meal, but you should eat. If you skip meals you’ll end up feeling worse, and healthy food can also help you to heal a bit faster. But you may not feel like cooking, either. Make sure you have plenty of soups, applesauce, yogurt, oatmeal, and your other favorite soft, easy-to-make foods handy in the kitchen so that you don’t have to run out to the store if you don’t want to.
Follow your dentist’s instructions!
Your dentist and his or her staff have been through a multitude of dental procedures and have helped a multitude of patients to recover successfully. That’s why when they tell you what to do once you leave the dental office, you should listen! Follow their instructions for a quick and problem-free recovery, and don’t be afraid to call with any questions you may have.
Call your dentist if something doesn’t seem right
You shouldn’t hesitate to contact your dentist if something just isn’t right, such as signs of infection, an incision that comes open, or trouble keeping fluids down.
