Gum Lift Aftercare Advice

Aftercare Advice Following Gum Lift or Gum Recontouring Procedure.

The following information has been prepared to help answer the many questions you may have regarding the gum lift or gum recontouring procedure.

• When the anaesthesia wears off, you may have some discomfort from the gum lift or gum recontouring procedure. Painkillers may be helpful. The effects of local anaesthetic normally last 3-4 hours. To avoid damage to your tongue, cheeks and lips, you should avoid chewing until the numbness has completely worn off. Also avoid hot drinks or food if you are very numb.
• We recommend you use Corsodyl Mouthwash twice a day for the first week, and once a day for the second week.  Warm, salt water mouth rinsing also helps in the first few days after gum lift or gum recontouring procedure.
• Gentle brushing is advised around the treated area.  It is very important to have a very thorough cleaning regime after gum lift or gum recontouring procedure as plaque build up may slow the healing.   The use of floss and interdental brushes is very important to clean in between the teeth.
• You are advised not to smoke as smoking slows down healing.
• You may follow your regular daily activities, as gum lift or gum recontouring procedure is normally quick healing.
• If you are concerned about the progress of your recovery, please call the practice.
