Many people dread going to the dentist and avoid it as much as they can. So when we talk about oral surgery, the fear is even greater! Luckily, if you need to have a procedure done, don’t worry. The Internet is here to tell you all you need to know before you go into oral surgery.
You’ll be groggy after
People usually don’t take oral surgery as serious as they would other kinds of surgery and that’s a mistake. You will feel groggy after you wake up and you will need to lay it off and have someone by your side to help you. It’s best to have a family member or a friend accompany you to the place of surgery and get you safely home. If you don’t have anyone available, don’t resort to driving yourself! Even local anesthesia can dull out your reflexes and make you a lousy driver. So, make sure to order an Uber!
If you had a more serious operation, you might want to have someone by your side through the night or check up on your regularly. Those patients with kids should hire a nanny or have everything prepared so they don’t have to think about anything but napping when they get home. And don’t rush with eating too. Don’t make your first bite until you can fully feel your face, otherwise, you can chew up your cheek and tongue.
