Questions
What is the recovery time?
Healing times will vary from person to person, but most people feel like themselves again in about one week. The more extensive your oral surgery, the more time it will take to recover. During this time, your healthcare provider will give you medications to keep you comfortable.
When can I go back to work or school?
Most people can return to work or school within one to three days. For more extensive procedures, such as corrective jaw surgery, it could take a bit longer.
When should I see my healthcare provider?
If you have tooth, gum or jaw pain, schedule an appointment with your provider right away. If you’ve recently undergone oral surgery and you develop pain that doesn’t go away with medication, a fever of 100.4 F or higher or drainage at the surgical site, call your surgeon immediately. These warning signs could indicate infection, which must be treated promptly.
