Reduce swelling and pain following oral surgery
A cold compress helps reduce swelling. Apply either a cold
compress or cold, moist cloth periodically. Switch to moist heat (a warm
wash cloth) 24 hours after
oral surgery. Check with
our office regarding how
often and how long to use a compress.We may prescribe medication to prevent infection
and control pain. Carefully follow the instructions. If you experience
severe pain, bleeding, fever, nausea or vomiting, contact Greater Louisville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates.
