Fixed Dental Prosthesis (Crown and Bridge)

Dental Crowns and Bridges Care Instructions​ 1. What to Expect After Dental Treatment You may experience mild tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure for the first 2–3 days The crowned or bridged tooth may feel slightly “high” or different when biting; this usually improves as your bite adjusts Temporary gum irritation around the crown margins is normal If a temporary crown or bridge was placed, be cautious while eating or flossing, as these may become dislodged Important: Crowns do not make your teeth immune to decay. Tooth decay can still occur along the margins between the crown and the natural tooth, especially if oral hygiene is neglected. In some cases, root canal treatment may become necessary after crown placement, particularly if symptoms develop or the pulp becomes inflamed. Treatment may involve drilling through the crown or removing it entirely to access the underlying tooth.   2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Treatment Avoid hard, sticky, or extremely hot foods during the first 48–72 hours Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and use floss or interdental brushes regularly Pay special attention to cleaning around the crown margins and under bridge pontics, where plaque commonly accumulates Attend regular dental check-ups every 3–6 months to detect early signs of decay or damage beneath the crown or bridge If you grind your teeth at night, ask your dentist about a nightguard to protect your restorations Follow all oral hygiene instructions as provided by your dentist Even after crown placement, proper oral hygiene is crucial. Without it, decay may occur under the crown and lead to root infection, which can require re-treatment or crown replacement 3. What to Avoid After Treatment Do not chew on hard items like ice, hard candy, or nutshells with crowned teeth Avoid chewing sticky foods such as caramel or chewing gum, especially on temporary crowns Refrain from using your teeth to open packaging or bite hard objects Avoid highly acidic foods or beverages that can wear down restoration materials Do not neglect daily cleaning, especially around the crown edges and under bridges 4. When to Contact the Clinic The crown or bridge feels loose, cracked, too high, or has fallen out You experience sharp localized sensitivity, especially to sweets or cold You develop deep, lingering toothache or discomfort—this may indicate underlying pulp inflammation There is noticeable bad breath or an odd taste from a specific area You see redness, swelling, or bleeding in the gums around the crowned teeth These symptoms may signal decay beneath the crown, bite misalignment, or the need for root canal treatment through the crown. 5.

Tooth Extraction

Post-Tooth Extraction Care Instructions​ 1. What to Expect After Dental Treatment Following a tooth extraction, it is normal to experience mild to moderate discomfort, swelling around the site, and minor bleeding. These symptoms typically subside within a few days. Slight jaw stiffness, difficulty opening the mouth fully, or a temporary change in bite sensation may also occur. Bruising may appear on the cheek or jawline, especially after surgical extractions. These are natural healing responses and generally resolve on their own. It is also common to have some blood oozing from the extraction site for up to 24–48 hours. During this time, if bleeding occurs, place clean gauze over the area and bite down firmly to apply pressure to the wound edge and help control the bleeding. This simple technique helps ensure that the healing process continues properly and minimizes the risk of dry socket. 2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Treatment Bite down gently but firmly on the gauze pad placed by your dentist for 1 to 2 hours to control bleeding. Apply a cold compress on the outside of the cheek for 15–20 minutes at a time, during the first 24 hours. Take all medications as prescribed, including pain relievers and antibiotics. Rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first 48–72 hours. Sleep with your head elevated for the first night. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and rinsing carefully, avoiding the extraction site for the first day. After 24 hours, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water several times a day to promote healing. Eat soft, cool or lukewarm foods such as soup, mashed potatoes, or yogurt. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Following these post-operative care tips can significantly reduce discomfort and help ensure a smooth recovery. Patients visiting dental clinics in Chiang Mai—such as Kitcha Dental Clinic—can expect professional guidance and attentive aftercare instructions tailored to their needs. 3. What to Avoid After Treatment Do not rinse your mouth forcefully or spit during the first 24 hours. Avoid using straws or engaging in any sucking action that may dislodge the blood clot. Refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol for at least 72 hours, as these can delay healing. Avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods that may irritate the site. Do not touch the extraction area with your fingers or tongue. Avoid blowing your nose forcefully or sneezing with your mouth closed, especially if the extracted tooth was near the sinus area. These precautions are essential to prevent complications. If you’re undergoing tooth removal at a dental clinic in Chiang Mai, always follow your dentist’s instructions to avoid post-treatment issues. 4. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact the clinic promptly if you experience: Continuous bleeding for more than two hours that does not stop with pressure Severe pain that intensifies after 2–3 days (a potential sign of dry socket) Signs of infection such as fever, chills, swelling that worsens, or foul odor or taste Pus discharge from the site Difficulty breathing or swallowing Timely communication with your dental provider is key to a safe recovery. At reputable dental clinics in Chiang Mai like Kitcha Dental Clinic, patients are encouraged to report unusual symptoms for timely support. 5.

Dental Implant Placement Surgery

Post-Operative Care Instructions After Dental Implant and Bone Grafting Surgery 1. What to Expect After Surgery After dental implant and bone graft surgery, patients commonly experience mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, or bruising around the surgical site. This typically occurs within the first 24–48 hours. Minor bleeding or oozing is also expected and can usually be managed by biting gently on gauze. Temporary numbness or tingling in the lips, chin, or cheek area may occur, particularly when the lower jaw is involved. These are natural responses during the healing phase of dental implant treatment. At Kitcha Dental Clinic, a leading dental implant clinic in Chiang Mai, our patients receive personalized post-operative care instructions to help ensure safe healing and long-term success of their implants. 2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Surgery Bite down on a gauze pad over the surgical site for 1–2 hours to control bleeding. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 15–20 minutes at a time during the first 24–48 hours. Follow all prescribed medications, including antibiotics and pain relievers, as directed. Avoid excessive talking, chewing on the surgical side, or using removable dentures over the area unless cleared by your dentist. Bring any removable prosthetics or appliances with you to your follow-up visit so the dentist can ensure they do not apply pressure to the surgical area. Consume soft, cool or lukewarm foods (e.g., soup, yogurt, mashed foods); avoid hot, spicy, sticky, or hard items. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, avoiding the surgical site. Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash or warm saline after meals and before bed. Return to the clinic for scheduled follow-ups and suture removal if needed. Proper care is essential to achieving successful osseointegration (bone healing around the implant), a key phase in dental implant treatment at Kitcha Dental Clinic in Chiang Mai. 3. What to Avoid After Surgery Avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for the first 24 hours. Do not smoke for at least one week before and after surgery, as this significantly increases the risk of implant failure. Refrain from alcohol and caffeine, which may interfere with healing. Avoid touching the surgical site with your fingers or tongue. Do not wear removable appliances unless specifically permitted by your dentist. Following these precautions supports the healing process and reduces the risk of complications such as infection or peri-implantitis. 4. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact Kitcha Dental Clinic immediately if you notice any of the following: Bleeding that continues after applying pressure for more than two hours Severe pain or swelling that worsens after the third day Signs of infection: fever, chills, pus, or a foul odor Persistent numbness or abnormal sensations beyond 7 days Loose crowns, shifting implants, or clicking sensations at the implant site 5.

Tooth Extraction / Surgery

Post-Operative Care Instructions After Surgical removal of impacted or Embeded tooth 1. What to Expect After Surgery After surgical removal of an impacted tooth, it is common to experience pain, swelling, or facial bruising within the first 24–48 hours. Minor bleeding may also occur. If bleeding persists, bite down firmly on a gauze pad to help control it. Some patients may have difficulty opening their mouth or may experience temporary numbness in the lips or chin, depending on the depth and position of the impacted tooth. 2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Surgery Bite down on a gauze pad over the surgical site for about 1 hour. If bleeding continues, replace with a fresh pad. Avoid forceful rinsing or using straws during the first 24 hours. Suction pressure from a straw can dislodge the blood clot and lead to dry socket. Apply a cold compress to the cheek area during the first 24–48 hours to reduce swelling. Switch to a warm compress starting on day 3. Begin gentle saline rinses from day 2 onward, especially after meals and before bedtime. Eat soft foods and avoid hot, spicy, chewy, or hard foods for 3–5 days. Take all prescribed medications, especially antibiotics, exactly as instructed. Return to the clinic for follow-up and suture removal within 5–10 days if non-dissolvable stitches were used. 3. What to Avoid After Surgery Do not rinse your mouth forcefully or spit during the first 24 hours. Avoid using straws or engaging in any sucking action that may dislodge the blood clot. Refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol for at least 72 hours, as these can delay healing. Avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods that may irritate the site. Avoid using straws to drink fluids, as suction can disrupt the healing site. Do not touch the extraction area with your fingers or tongue. Avoid blowing your nose forcefully or sneezing with your mouth closed, especially if the extracted tooth was near the sinus area. 4. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact Kitcha Dental Clinic immediately if you notice any of the following: Continuous bleeding for more than 2 hours that does not stop with pressure Severe pain that intensifies after 2–3 days (a potential sign of dry socket) Signs of infection such as fever, chills, swelling that worsens, or foul odor or taste Pus discharge from the site Difficulty breathing or swallowing Sensation of retained root fragments or loose bone near the wound 5.
