It is also best not to smoke during the entire treatment period.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid foods and beverages that stain teeth (red wine, coffee, tea, tomato sauce, etc.)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during treatment. It is also recommended to avoid these foods for the first few days after treatment.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Side effects<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may experience sensitivity or a tingling or burning sensation in your gums. The gums or inside of the lips may also become temporarily discolored, but this usually resolves after a few minutes or hours. These effects mainly occur when too much product is used and it spills out of the trays, which is why it is important to use the recommended amount and wipe off any excess product with a tissue or soft cloth.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Treatment duration<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The duration of treatment varies depending on individual needs and conditions. In general, it takes a minimum of two weeks for the treatment to take effect. It is also recommended that you have touch-ups every 6 to 9 months, ideally after your regular professional cleaning.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block black padding56yt mobsize\" id=\"CHIRURGIES\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-8ab8937e\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-8ab8937e\"><h2 class=\"font18 bold blue\">ORAL SURGERY AND TOOTH EXTRACTIONS<\/h2><p><b>Bleeding<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is normal to experience bleeding after surgery. To stop the bleeding, bite down on the cotton pads provided by your dentist for one to two hours after the procedure. It is important to change the cotton pads every thirty minutes or when they become saturated with blood. If bleeding persists beyond this time, take a gauze pad or a slightly moistened tea bag and bite down on it for 20 minutes. It is also important not to drink or eat anything until the bleeding has completely stopped.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Diet<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can resume eating and drinking as soon as the bleeding stops. Choose lukewarm foods that are easy to chew and avoid eating on the side of the surgery or extraction. Avoid hot or spicy foods. You can resume your normal diet as soon as you feel comfortable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General precautions<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol for several days after the procedure.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid strenuous physical activity; take time to recover after the procedure.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid rinsing your mouth vigorously or spitting.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid drinking through a straw.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Dental hygiene<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can resume brushing your teeth on the day of the surgery. However, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush gently. Be careful not to brush the surgical site or extraction site to avoid weakening the stitches.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Medication<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been prescribed antibiotics, it is very important to take them for the full course, even if your symptoms or pain disappear. Take painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication for the first three days after the procedure. After that, they should only be taken as needed. If you experience any side effects, stop using the medication and contact us as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Healing<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To disinfect the surgical site and prevent the growth of bacteria that could cause infection and\/or interfere with healing, rinse your mouth three times a day with warm water and salt (1\/2 teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of water).Start this procedure the day after the procedure and repeat it until healing is complete.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Swelling and bruising<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reduce swelling, apply ice to the cheek for 20 minutes every hour on the day of the surgery. Continue applying ice for the next few days if the swelling persists. However, it should gradually subside. The same is true for any bruising that may occur; it usually disappears within five to seven days.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Pain<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is normal to experience some pain in the first few hours or even days after surgery. However, if the pain persists after three days, cannot be controlled with pain medication, or if it worsens, please call us immediately.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block black padding56yt mobsize\" id=\"INSTALLATION\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-5e3262cf\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-5e3262cf\"><h2 class=\"font18 bold blue\">INSTALLATION OF A CROWN OR BRIDGE<\/h2><p><b>Diet<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid hot beverages while you are still under the effects of the anesthetic.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid sticky and hard foods such as chewing gum and candy.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the days following the installation of the crown or bridge, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Dental hygiene<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brush your teeth as usual.

After that, take them only as needed. If your dentist has not prescribed anything, you can take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen. Again, it is important to follow the dosage instructions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been prescribed antibiotics, take them until the end of the treatment, even if you no longer feel any pain or symptoms of infection. If you experience any side effects, stop using them and contact our team immediately.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Swelling and bruising<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is normal to notice some swelling. This should peak after 48 to 72 hours. To control it, you can apply ice for about 20 minutes every hour for the first 24 hours after surgery. After that, we recommend using warm compresses. Bruising may also appear in the days following the procedure. This should subside after one to two weeks.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Bleeding<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To stop bleeding, apply pressure to the surgical site by biting down on sterile cotton pads. If bleeding persists, you can bite down on a tea bag for about 20 minutes. It is also normal to see a clot at the implant site. This is beneficial to the healing process. Therefore, it should be kept in place by avoiding spitting, drinking through a straw, or smoking for 48 hours after surgery.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Diet<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to eat a soft diet for 24 hours after the procedure, or even a little longer. After that, avoid very hot, spicy, or acidic foods and beverages (tomatoes, citrus fruits, apple juice, etc.). The same goes for raw vegetables, croutons, steaks, and leafy vegetables, which could cause a shearing effect.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Dental hygiene<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can quickly resume your dental hygiene routine using a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoiding brushing the implant.<\/span><\/p><p><b>General advice<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first few days after implantation, raise your head when lying down or sleeping.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid strenuous physical activity or exertion for 72 hours after the procedure.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid alcohol for 72 hours and smoking for two weeks after the implant.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the chlorhexidine formula prescribed by your dentist or a mixture of warm water and a teaspoon of salt to rinse your mouth.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two weeks after the procedure, see your dentist for a follow-up appointment.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They will then remove any remaining stitches.
