Our tips for
optimal healing.
Carefully following our post-operative advice is crucial to ensuring a quick and effective recovery.
By following these recommendations, you can reduce the risk of complications, minimize pain, and promote optimal healing. Your well-being is our priority.
The recommended care instructions must be followed to promote healing. Please note that after surgery, it is normal to experience some discomfort and swelling.
Day of surgery
- Keep the gauze pads in your mouth for one to two hours, applying firm pressure, and change them every half hour as needed.
- Apply ice to your cheek at regular intervals (20 minutes of ice every hour).
- If you bleed, take a gauze pad or a slightly moistened tea bag and bite down on the pad or tea bag for 20 minutes.
Things to avoid
- Avoid rinsing your mouth or spitting.
- Avoid drinking through a straw.
- Avoid smoking.

From the day after surgery until complete healing
- Rinse your mouth three times a day with warm water and salt (2 ml or 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 250 ml or 1 cup of water).

Stainless steel crowns offer several advantages in dentistry. Here are some of their benefits:
Durability: Stainless steel crowns are extremely durable. They are less likely to break or crack compared to some other treatments such as gray or white fillings.
Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, which means it does not rust. This ensures a long life for the crown.
Biocompatibility: Stainless steel is generally well tolerated by oral tissues, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or irritation.
Ease of maintenance: Stainless steel crowns are easy to maintain. All you need to do is maintain good oral hygiene to preserve them.
Protection against decay: Stainless steel crowns adequately protect teeth against recurrent decay because they cover all surfaces of the tooth.
