Howard Sosna, DDS, practices dentistry and performs oral surgeries in his Newton, New Jersey, clinic. For more than three decades, Dr. Sosna has focused primarily on his role as an oral surgeon, performing both routine and major mouth surgeries. Dr. Howard Sosna must also ensure patients have followed certain guidelines both prior to and after dental surgery in order to ensure a safe and effective procedure.A patient should avoid eating or drinking anything for at least six hours before surgery. Smoking should be avoided 12 hours ahead and should not be resumed until healing has fully occurred. Patients must arrange to be driven home, as the effects of anesthesia will linger. Furthermore, patients should dress in comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, forgoing jewelry, contacts, and dentures. After surgery, patients should expect certain levels of nausea, swelling, bleeding, bruising, numbness, and pain. Pain relievers may be prescribed to the patient to alleviate some of these symptoms. If symptoms are persistent, patients should contact their dental office. Patients must also fully rest during recovery.Oral hygiene and nourishment will need to be slightly modified after surgery. When eating, patients should chew on the opposite side of their mouths from the surgery site. Foods high in calories and protein will help the body recover, and soft foods are recommended at first. Straws should be avoided, as they may dislodge blood clots and cause bleeding. When cleaning teeth, the brushing should be gentle and should avoid the surgery’s site.
