Instructions After Extractions

Post Op Instruction After Extractions

Do not scratch, chew, suck or rub the lips, tongue, or cheek while they feel numb or asleep. The child should be watched closely so he/she does not injure his/her lip, or cheek before the anesthesia wears off.
Do not rinse the mouth for several hours.
Do not drink a carbonated beverage (Coke, Sprite etc.) for the remainder of the day.
Do not drink through a straw.
Keep fingers and tongue away from the extraction area.
Bleeding – Some bleeding is to be expected. If unusual or sustained bleeding occurs, place cotton gauze firmly over the extraction area and bite down or hold in place for fifteen minutes. This can also be accomplished with a tea bag. Repeat if necessary.
Maintain a soft diet for 1-2 days, or until the child feels comfortable eating normally again.
Avoid strenuous exercise or physical activity for several hours after extraction.
Pain – For discomfort use Children’s Tylenol, Advil, and Motrin as directed for age of the child. If medicine was prescribed, then follows the directions on the bottle.

Lovely people here, they are so nice and very patient with the kids. They make sure to interact with them and make them laugh.

Best Children’s dentist possibly in the Houston area. My kids love going with him he makes visits so much easier. Dr Helson is very knowledgeable, honest kind, funny and never have had any issues with the work or treatment he has performed.

Our son did amazing at the dentist. This is a proud moment for us as parents. After he cried all the way there, we finally calmed him down. The girls were amazing & made him feel safe. The doctor also treated him with care and love. Everywhere, relationships matter. He will forever remember his 1st big boy dentist experience.

This was an awesome experience….the office was very professional and the procedure was completed by Dr. Goolla and Marco quicker than I expected. They talked him through the procedure and kept him comfortable throughout and he went through this with flying colors.

Such a cute environment! Receptionist were very friendly, Selena made our visit very thorough and special! Very quick service! We found the perfect dentist for our little one.
