Post op instruction: You should keep the surrounding area clean with normal oral hygiene effort. Take your antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic medication as prescribed. Degree of swelling should be controlled. Balance nutritious meal are good for healing. Avoid sharp food (tacos, chips, nuts). Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, smoking, sucking on straw . Follow up with dentist/surgeon.
