Does Getting a Full Mouth Rehabilitation Hurt?
Your comfort will always be a top priority regardless of what treatments make up your full mouth rehabilitation process. For more complex procedures, a local anesthetic can be applied to your mouth in order to keep it numb while we’re working with your teeth and gums.
There might be some soreness after certain procedures. Our team will give you any necessary instructions for keeping discomfort under control while your mouth is recovering. Generally speaking, these instructions may include sticking to a diet of soft foods, staying away from hot drinks, and getting plenty of rest.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Rehabilitation If I Smoke?
The answer to this question can be different for each patient. Your dentist will need to consider your overall situation before deciding whether you’re a viable candidate for full mouth rehabilitation.
While it may still be possible to undergo the process even if you smoke, you will most likely be instructed to stay away from tobacco products for a while before and after certain procedures. Tobacco can have an adverse effect on the mouth’s healing capabilities, so it’s best avoided if you want to minimize the chances of a complication occurring.
Of course, it’s not unusual to have trouble giving up smoking even temporarily. Talk to your primary care physician to see what they suggest for breaking the habit so that you can have a full mouth rehabilitation performed.
How Do I Care for My Smile After Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
If you want to maintain your newly rehabilitated smile, then you will need to follow these important steps:
- Practice good oral hygiene habits. This means brushing two times a day, flossing once a day, and using mouthwash.
- Break any habits that might put your teeth at risk. Such habits can include crunching ice and tearing open packages with your teeth.
- Make time to visit your dentist at least once every six months. Regular checkups and cleanings are essential for keeping gum disease and tooth decay at bay.
