FAQ'S

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a specialist in treating pathological problems associated with the jaws, teeth, mouth, and face. The type of problems we see can be as simple as tooth extraction or as complicated as reconstructive or tumor surgery. Requirements include a bachelor's degree in dentistry and completion of an approved internship and residency training program which is usually college and hospital.
Before leaving our office, we made sure the bleeding was under control. We recommend that you leave the gauze on the surgery site for at least 30 minutes after you go home. Bite down with firm pressure during this time. Then gently remove the gauze. If bright red blood is leaking from the surgical area, place a clean, damp piece of gauze in your mouth and bite down again with firm pressure for another 30 minutes. After that, the bleeding should have subsided. A pink tint to your saliva is normal and may persist for a day or two.
Painkillers can cause mild stomach upset. That is why we recommend that you drink a dairy product before taking any medication for the first time.
