Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery
Is there much discomfort after oral surgery?
The kind of oral surgery you have will ultimately determine how much discomfort you feel, but rest assured our goal is to provide the most worry-free oral care we can. For most of the oral surgery procedures we perform, non-prescription pain relievers will take care of any discomfort. Your dentist can prescribe something stronger to assist you through your healing and recovery, if needed.
Does health insurance cover oral surgery?
Generally speaking, medical insurance policies are very particular about what they will and will not cover. It is best to check with your provider to see if your treatment will be covered and just how much your part will cost. Keep in mind, we provide numerous payment options, including financing through CareCredit.
When can I work out after oral surgery?
For the first 24 hours after your oral surgery, you should not exercise at all. Doing too much can lengthen your recovery and lead to problems with healing. Overexertion can loosen the blood clot from an extraction area and trigger an unpleasant condition referred to as dry socket. After the initial 24 hours, restrict your workout to low-impact activities for several more days.
