Precautions After Implant Surgery
Control bleeding: Bite firmly on the gauze for at least 2 hours after surgery. Swallow saliva and blood naturally—do not spit, as this can cause further bleeding.
Reduce swelling: Apply an ice pack to the surgical area in 5-minute intervals (on and off) for the first 1–2 days after surgery.
Take medications: Be sure to take all prescribed medications as directed to relieve pain and prevent infection or inflammation.
Dietary precautions: Eat only soft foods for the first week. Avoid using straws, and do not eat tough, hard, or crunchy foods during the healing period.
Rest & activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or sauna use for 2–3 days after surgery. Get plenty of rest to support healing.
Avoid smoking & alcohol: To prevent infection and delayed healing, refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 1 month after surgery.
