Aftercare Instructions Following Teeth Shaving (Preparation)

To ensure proper healing and the best results after your teeth shaving procedure, please follow these aftercare instructions carefully:

1. Avoid Spitting or Rinsing Forcefully: Do not spit or rinse your mouth forcefully for the first 24 hours, as it may cause irritation to the treated areas. Instead, gently let saliva or water flow out.

2. Be Cautious with Food and Drinks:

Avoid hot or cold food and drinks for the first 24 hours, as your teeth may be sensitive.

Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on hard items that could put pressure on the treated teeth.

3. Maintain Oral Hygiene:

Brush your teeth gently using a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid irritating the prepared surfaces.

Avoid using mouthwash for the first 24 hours. Afterward, you may use a mild, alcohol-free mouthwash if advised by your dentist.

4. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours, as these can delay healing and increase sensitivity.

5. Sensitivity is Normal: Mild sensitivity to temperature changes or slight discomfort is common. This should subside in a few days. You may use desensitizing toothpaste if needed.

6. Take Medications as Prescribed: If your dentist has prescribed any medications, such as pain relievers or antibiotics, take them as directed.

7. Contact Your Dentist if Necessary: If you experience prolonged pain, unusual swelling, or any signs of infection, reach out to your dentist immediately.

By following these instructions, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal preparation for your next dental procedures
