What Is The Time Duration For Healing After An Operculectomy?
Hey! I’ve had operculectomy performed last week but now even after a week,i dont feel much better. I mean my right lower side of mouth hurts so much and sometimes sudden pain arises in lower tooth or at the back soft tissue of mouth. Does it mean that operculectomy wasn’t performed well enough? I’m unable to figure out why isn’t my tissue healing already because my dentist left it open to heal it on its own.
It takes some time to heal. Depends on each person's body, how it reacts to surgery. Wait for a week. Take the antibiotic and anti-inflammatory dosage as prescribed by your dentist and also do salt water gargle. Have lots of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohit S Menon, Dentist
