You\u2019ve just wrapped up the last treatment in your full mouth reconstruction<\/a> plan. So that means you and your new smile are ready to take the world by storm, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full mouth reconstructions are comprehensive treatments, and depending on your unique plan, you could have to do quite a bit of resting and relaxing (among other things!). Diving into your favorite foods too soon could cause some unpleasant complications for your oral health. With that in mind, here\u2019s how you can promote a smooth recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Follow Your Specific Hygiene Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proper dental hygiene is the best way to prevent infection, gum disease, tooth decay, and other harmful conditions. While no two patients will have exactly the same treatment plans, every procedure that can be included in a full mouth reconstruction should be followed with twice daily brushing and once daily flossing. Depending on which restorations you get, your prosthodontist may have more specific hygiene instructions for you, and it\u2019s in your best interest to carry them out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modify Your Diet \u2013 Temporarily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your gums and teeth are likely to be sore after your full mouth reconstruction, and could very well still be in the process of repairing damaged tissue. Overly hard, crunchy, tough, sticky, and chewy foods can interfere with the healing process, so your prosthodontist might tell you to modify your diet. Fortunately, your treatment is meant to restore <\/em>and support <\/em>your overall oral function, not impair it, and you\u2019ll only need to avoid these types of meals temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Plenty of Rest!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seriously! It\u2019s not lazy to relax with a good book or your favorite TV show when you\u2019re recovering from full mouth reconstruction. Getting plenty of rest is an important part of the healing process, and without it, your body won\u2019t have time to repair itself. Don\u2019t participate in strenuous activities unless otherwise noted by your prosthodontist, and if you need some work done around the house, ask a trusted friend or family member to assist you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know what it can make it difficult to truly feel at ease? Oral pain. As mentioned earlier, you\u2019ll likely experience some soreness after your treatment. It might be tempting to \u201ctough it out\u201d or think of the discomfort as \u201cnot a big deal,\u201d but if your body is busy sending pain signals to your brain, it can\u2019t spend as much time actually healing and revitalizing your cells. So take ibuprofen or another pain reliever as necessary, and remember that a cold compress can help numb tender areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When in Doubt, Call Your Prosthodontist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If something doesn\u2019t seem quite right, or if unpleasant symptoms are severe, don\u2019t hesitate to contact your prosthodontist. While rare, it is possible to experience complications even when you\u2019re following all of your aftercare instructions. Calling your prosthodontist sooner rather than later enables them to address the problem before it becomes worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, this is still a time worth celebrating. You\u2019re almost at the end of the finish line, after all, so be proud of yourself and know that you\u2019ll be enjoying your fully restored smile before you know it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
