Re: Can we prevent cavity after surgery??? POST OPE

[Guest guest]

I made a drop-in visit to my dentist two weeks post op to say hello to

him and to let him take a quick look. I told him that my ortho

advised me to stop the Peridex because he was afraid that it was

starting to burn my gums. My dentist told me to make a solution of

1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 Listerine and to gargle with it morning

and night. He said that with a lot of sugar in the diet, it makes it

so much easier for decay to form. I do believe it's possible to

prevent cavities after surgery, it just requires being proactive and

staying on top of asking your OS and orthodontist what you can add to

your dental hygeine routine.

I'm 3.5 weeks post-op, and I just got the okay yesterday to start

brushing with toothpaste as all of my sutures have healed, and there

are no open wounds.

All the best,

Hello Ashbly,

It's great that you can start brushing with toothpaste!!! Can you

open your mouth wide enough to brush back tooth?
