You just had treatment—now let’s protect your result.

This page collects our best post-op guidance for the procedures we perform most often at Prime Emergency Dental. You’ll find clear timelines (what’s normal vs not), medication tips, diet recommendations, and when to check in with us.

• Your custom instructions come first. The printed/emailed handout you received today reflects your exact procedure and overrides anything general on this page.

• What’s normal: mild soreness, slight oozing first 24–48 hours, and temporary temperature sensitivity are common.

• Call us if you’re unsure. We’d rather hear from you early than late—no question is “too small.”

• Red-flag symptoms (act now): heavy or persistent bleeding, fever, worsening/swelling after day 3, foul taste/drainage, rash or breathing issues after a new medication, facial swelling spreading toward the eye/neck, or difficulty swallowing/breathing. For any airway or rapidly worsening symptoms, call 911 or go to the ER.

If you need us, we’re a call away—same-day support is what we do.
