POST-OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS

After a surgical procedure or endodontic treatment, it is normal for patients to experience slight discomfort for a few days. In most cases, a non-narcotic pain regimen will be given consisting of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Advil). These two medications taken together will be as effective as a narcotic without any of the side effects associated with narcotics. If a narcotic has been prescribed, follow the directions carefully. If you have any questions about these medications interacting with other medications you are presently taking, please call our office and/or your pharmacist.
