Pre-Operative Instructions
Before your procedure at Arrow Oral Surgery, it’s important to follow all pre-operative instructions carefully to ensure a safe and successful experience. Our team will provide you with specific guidelines based on your treatment, but generally, patients should avoid eating or drinking for at least eight hours prior to surgery if undergoing IV sedation or general anesthesia. Be sure to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from your appointment, as you will not be able to drive afterward. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid jewelry, makeup, or nail polish on the day of surgery. If you take daily medications, please discuss them with our team beforehand to determine whether they should be taken the morning of your procedure. Following these instructions helps minimize risks and supports a smooth recovery process.
Post-Operative Instructions
After your procedure at Arrow Oral Surgery, following post-operative instructions closely is essential for proper healing and to reduce the risk of complications. Our team will review specific care guidelines based on your surgery, but in general, you should rest for the remainder of the day and avoid strenuous activity for at least 24–48 hours. Keep gauze in place to control bleeding, and replace it as directed until it subsides. Apply ice packs intermittently during the first 24 hours to minimize swelling, and take prescribed or recommended pain medication as needed. Stick to soft foods and avoid using straws, smoking, or vigorous rinsing, as these can disturb the healing site. Maintain good oral hygiene by gently brushing and rinsing as instructed. If you experience excessive bleeding, swelling, or pain, contact our office immediately—our team is always here to ensure your recovery is safe and comfortable.
