POSTOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO BE
FOLLOWED AFTER LANAP
- Normally, some discomfort is to be expected, but is usually managed well with the anti-inflammatory medication that was prescribed for you.
- Some slight bleeding is also normal
- Tissues can be gray, yellow, red, blue, purple or “stringy” and reflect normal response to laser treatments.
- Avoid spicy or excessively hot foods for the first week.
- Try to keep your mouth as clean as possible in order to help the healing process.
- Brush in all the areas of your mouth except for the treated areas.
- Do not apply excessive tongue or cheek pressure to the treated areas.
- Some swelling may occur. To keep this to a minimum, gently place an ice pack on the outside of your face on the treated side for 20 minutes each hour on the treatment day. Do not continue using the ice bag the next day.
- It is very important to maintain a good food and fluid intake. Try to eat soft but nutritious foods, such as eggs, yogurt,cheese , ice cream, etc., until you can comfortably return to a normal diet.
- Stronger pain medication is usually not needed.
- An antimicrobial rinse was also prescribed. Since you cannot brush or floss the treated areas for one week, use of the rinse as directed will reduce the accumulation of plaque and tartar on the treated teeth in the absence of brushing. You may experience a medicinal aftertaste, which is temporary.
