This section of our Website discusses the pre and postoperative care for
patients receiving oral surgery. It is divided into three parts, located on two different
pages.
The first section contains the pre and postoperative instructions for both standard oral surgery and wisdom tooth extraction. The second section provides information for our Dental Implant Patients.

Postoperative Instructions Please note: These instructions are for the benefit of the dental patients treated by our office. Patients being treated by other dentists may receive the same instructions or instructions that have been modified based upon the individual care they have received. Should you be experiencing either unusual pain or swelling or both, please call your dentist immediately! The management of fear and anxiety has been a integral part of the practice of dentistry for many years. The first demonstration of anesthesia was in 1844 by Dr. Horace Wells, a dentist who under went a dental extraction performed by an associate, using nitrous oxide for pain control. Soon afterward, Dr. William T. G. Morton, a dentist, used ether vapor when performing a surgical extraction on a patient. These were the first of many members of the dental profession who pioneered the research and development of anesthetic techniques for the management of pain and anxiety. Today a vast array of equipment and medication are available to safely and comfortably deal with patient apprehension during dental treatment.
