Before any oral surgery (from extractions to the insertion of an implant), it is necessary for the patient to follow a series of steps, according to the recommendations received from the dentist. These have the role of preparing them both mentally and physically, being essential in establishing a personalized treatment plan, according to the patient's needs. At the same time, they are aimed at reducing the risks or unforeseen situations that may occur during and after the surgery.
Medical tests
A thorough Parker oral surgery provider will review the patient's medical history, to determine if the dental surgery procedure can be performed under normal conditions. Preoperatively, the patient is required to go through a set of tests.
Professional cleaning of the oral cavity, before the surgery
Cleaning the oral cavity, consisting of professional descaling and brushing, is recommended before an oral surgery, because it removes existing bacteria, minimizing the risk of infection.
Post-surgery
For the success of an oral surgical procedure (e.g. an extraction, a dental implant, an apical resection, sinus lift or gingival curettage etc.), it is also important to respect a post-operatory routine, based on several instructions that include nutrition, hygiene, as well as treatment of the inflammation, in the first 2-3 days after surgery, to prevent an infection.
