What to Expect During Oral Surgery

Although what happens during your oral surgery will depend somewhat on the type of procedure that you’re getting, there are some aspects of oral surgery that are consistent no matter what. Here’s a little bit of what you can expect if you’re getting oral surgery.

Before Oral Surgery

Your dental provider will evaluate your teeth, gums, and oral health and will take dental X-rays. Then, the healthcare provider will create a treatment plan for you.

During Oral Surgery

Your provider may offer you a range of sedation options to ensure that you’re comfortable throughout the surgery. Some options include oral medications, nitrous oxide or deep sedation. Your dentist will recommend the best type of sedation for you based on your health and the procedure being done.

After Oral Surgery

After your oral surgery occurs, your dental provider will give you specific instructions to help ensure that your recovery goes well. Follow the instructions for your recovery, and if you have pain or bleeding beyond what the dental provider tells you is normal, call to get the next steps.
