One way to help ease any fear or anxiety you may have is to get informed about the procedure ahead of time. At your pre-op appointment, your dentist will be able to answer any concerns you have, so if you\u2019re still left with questions after doing some research, don\u2019t hesitate to ask the expert so you can get the answers you need to feel comfortable the day of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make a Post-Surgery Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since dental implant surgery is just that\u2014a surgery, you\u2019ll be under sedation. This means that you\u2019ll need to plan to have a trusted friend, family member, or partner ready to pick you up after your procedure and take care of you that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to your ride, you\u2019ll need to plan to stock your kitchen with soft foods that you can eat as your mouth is healing, like Jell-O, yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, etc. Avoid eating foods that are crunchy and sticky, because they could dislodge the blood clots around your implant sites and prolong the healing process. If you have children, make sure they\u2019ll be taken care of as well by planning to have a family member or friend come stay with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow Your Dentist\u2019s Pre-Op Instructions Closely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At your pre-op visit, your dentist will provide you with detailed instructions to prepare you for your surgery. These are incredibly important to follow, so be diligent about doing that! It will ensure you remain safe during your procedure and help you avoid needing to have it rescheduled. If you have any questions, be sure to call your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By following these three, easy tips before your dental implant surgery, you\u2019ll be able to feel prepared and start your journey towards recovery on the best track.
