Oral Surgery

At Bakthan Dental we do our very best to save your tooth and avoid removing them. However, sometimes, an extraction is unavoidable – especially when the tooth is damaged beyond repair or in other cases such as to create space to align teeth or to remove problematic wisdom teeth. Regardless of the reason, we have a talented team of oral surgeons to assess your condition and finish your procedure painlessly.

The oral surgeons day doesn’t end with just extractions though. They also take care of patients who have any type of pathology such as a cyst or an abscess, and are specialized in jaw surgery to provide a more esthetic and functional facial appearance.

Steps to a perfect surgical procedure

Step 1

Make an appointment with our team who will assess your needs with X-rays and a clinical examination.

Step 2

Your oral surgeon will explain all the steps involved and all your questions will be answered. A prescription and pre-operative instructions will be given to you.

Step 3

Your procedure will be completed seamlessly and painlessly. You will be given clear post operative instructions with an emergency contact number in case of any issues after work hours.

How long will it take to recover after oral surgery?

Recovery time can vary depending on the type of surgery, but it typically takes about a week or two to feel back to normal.

What can I eat after oral surgery?
Soft, bland food is recommended on the day of surgery. Avoid very hot or crunchy foods. Some examples of foods you can eat are yoghurt, smoothies, ice cream, scrambled eggs, etc.
Can I brush my teeth after oral surgery?
Oral hygiene is very important to aid in recovery after surgery. While you should brush all your teeth as you usually would, avoid brushing the surgical site for 24 hours, and avoid forceful spitting after brushing. Gently swish water in your mouth after brushing.
How do I manage pain after oral surgery?
Your dentist or oral surgeon will prescribe pain medication, or you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol. In the first few hours after surgery, a cold compress will be useful to control pain and swelling.
When can I return to work or school after oral surgery?
This is largely dependent on the type of surgery performed, but most people are able to return to work the day after the surgical procedure.
Can I drive home after oral surgery?
If you have had sedation performed, you cannot drive after oral surgery and need someone to take you home. Most surgeries are performed under simple local anaesthesia, and you will be fine to drive home after the surgery is complete.
How often should I rinse my mouth after oral surgery?
Your dentist or oral surgeon will provide specific instructions, but typically you should rinse your mouth with warm salt water or a prescribed mouthwash several times a day to help keep the surgical site clean.
When can I resume physical activity after oral surgery?
Most oral surgical procedures will allow you to return to normal physical activity 24 hours after surgery. Avoid very strenuous activity for a week after surgery.
What should I do if I experience complications after oral surgery?
Contact the Bakthan Dental clinic if you experience severe pain, fever, vomiting or diarrhoea. Some swelling is expected after an oral surgical procedure and usually takes a few days to resolve.
