• We create custom temporaries until your permanent restoration is completed.
• Sensitivity and occasionally some soreness is common, and should subside within in a few days.
• If your temporary loosens, comes out or breaks, DO NOT throw it out. Call our office and we will schedule an appointment to put it back. 
• Oral hygiene is important! Brush and floss, but do not floss around temporaries.

• Many patients experience some discomfort and speech problems when they first receive their dentures. New dentures sometimes need several adjustments to fit comfortably. 
• Do not sleep with your dentures. Remove your dentures every night and keep the denture in a container of denture cleaner.
• Thoroughly brush your dentures with water before wearing them.

• Use the gauze, given to you, to put pressure on the extraction site for at least 30 minutes without removing it. If bleeding continues, change to a new gauze and reapply pressure for an additional 30 minutes. Continue to do so until the bleeding has stopped.
• After surgery, place a cold compress on your face near the extraction site for 10 minutes. Remove for 5 minutes. Repeat.
• Do not eat or drink hot foods and beverages after surgery.
