This requires: This requires an evaluation by the dentist who treated you. Normal post operative evaluation until complete healing is evident is part of the responsibility of the dentist who treats you and generally without any additional fees.

Inflammation: Please return to the treating Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon for a post-surgical reevaluation. Although some pain may be associated with healing, it should be demising daily. Any swelling or change in tissues should be evaluated.
