POST OP FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS

1. Smoking: Do not smoke. Patients who smoke will experience delayed healing and greater discomfort and are at higher risk for infection. In addition smoking will compromise your result.
2. Medication:It is important to follow the instructions written on your prescription. If you experience any unfavourable reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, etc. call the doctor.
3. Rest:Do not plan on any activities for the remainder of the day. Avoid any strenuous activity for 1 week following surgery.
4. Pain:Some discomfort is expected once the anesthetic wears off. If you were prescribed post-operative pain medication, begin taking it before the anesthetic wears off to minimize discomfort. Ibuprofen is an effective pain medication and also reduces swelling. It can be taken for the first 3-4 days on a continuous basis (4 times per day) with a maximum dose of 3 grams per day. You may take Ibuprofen in addition to and at the same time as a prescribed narcotic such as Tylenol #2 or #3.
5. Swelling: Some swelling may occur the day after surgery and will generally persist for 24-36 hours, then diminish.Swelling can be minimized by placing an ice pack on the outside of the face over the surgical site alternating on and off in 10 minute intervals. You should do this forthe 24 hours following your surgery.
6. Bleeding:There should be no outright bleeding after surgery, though a slight pinkish colour to your saliva is common. If bleeding occurs, place a moistened non herbal tea bag over the area and apply gentle pressure. Continue this for 20 minutes. If bleeding persists call the doctor.
7. Rinsing:Following your surgery you should rinse with warm salt water for the next 24 hours. Do not brush or floss or water pik in the area involved in the surgery. If you have been prescribed mouthwash use it twice daily until the stiches are removed. Make sure there is no toothpaste in your mouth when rinsing.
8. Diet:It is important to maintain a normal healthy diet. Do not drink any hot drinks for the first 24 hours. The 4 days following surgery eat soft foods (oatmeal, cottage cheese, eggs, avocado, fruit and vegetable juices) Try to do your chewing on the opposite site of your mouth from where the surgery took place. Avoid any coarse foods such as seeds, nuts, chips, popcorn etc. . . . It may be necessary to maintain a liquid diet for a few days. Increase your fluid intake during this time. Avoid using a straw for 4 days.

Dr. Brian Kumer

(416) 605-0008

I authorize Dr. Stephen Ing and associates/assistants of his choice to perform intravenous sedation/anesthesia, as a part of my dental procedure. Additionally, I authorize the performance of any other procedure that in the judgment of Dr. Ing may be necessary for my well-being, including such interventions that are considered medically advisable to remedy conditions encountered during the proposed procedure.

I am satisfied with my understanding of the nature of the anesthesia plan of care and the more common drawbacks and complications associated with it. These may include, but are not limited to: swelling, bleeding or discomfort at the site of intravenous insertion; allergic reactions to the anesthetic agents used; nausea and/or vomiting; prolonged recovery from anesthesia; post-operative disorientation/delirium (temporary); aspiration of stomach contents (rare); sore throat; fractured teeth; sore/bleeding nose. There is also a very rare potential for serious harm, including respiratory and cardiac arrest which can result in brain damage or death. I understand the risks, complications, and potential benefits of anesthesia. I have been given ample opportunity to discuss alternative methods of treatment, if any, along with their risks and benefits. No warranty or guarantee has been made as to the outcome of the anesthesia plan of care.

I understand that in some instances where a general anesthetic (ie, completely asleep/unconscious) has been specifically requested, Dr. Ing may use a breathing tube to ensure that the patient's airway remains unobstructed during the procedure. In these instances, there is an increased chance of a temporary sore throat or in much rarer circumstances, physical trauma to the airway.

I understand that anesthetics and other medicines may be harmful to an unborn child and may cause birth defects or spontaneous abortion. Recognizing these risks, I accept full responsibility for informing Dr. Ing of a suspected or confirmed pregnancy with the understanding that this will necessitate the postponement of the sedation/anesthetic. For similar reasons, I understand that I must inform Dr. Ing if I am a nursing mother.

I understand and agree to the following post-anesthetic instructions:

1. I will not drive a car or operate machinery for at least 24 hours, longer if drowsiness or dizziness persists.
2. I will not drink alcoholic beverages for a minimum of 24 hours after the procedure.
3. I will be in the care of a responsible adult until I am fully alert.

PRE-OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PATIENTS WHO WILL BE RECEIVING SEDATION OR ANESTHESIA

1. Nothing to eat or drink (including water) for 8 hours before the procedure.
2. The only exception to the above instruction applies if you take medications on a regular basis. Take your usual medications at (approximately) the regularly scheduled times at least two hours before the appointment, with a few sips of water (and water only).
3. Arrangements must be made to have a responsible adult take you home, by car or taxi (a taxi driver alone is not allowed to take you home). You may NOT go home by public transit.
4. Please wear something short-sleeved (eg, t-shirt). Do not wear facial makeup or nail polish.
5. Contact us prior to the appointment if has there been a change in your general health (egs, severe cold, fever, etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOWING YOUR SEDATION/ANESTHESIA APPOINTMENT

1. You may be drowsy for the remainder of the day and should be relaxing at home in the care of a responsible adult until you are fully alert.
2. You must not drive a car or operate machinery for at least 18 hours, longer if drowsiness or dizziness persists.
3. Replenish your energy by having something to eat or drink as soon as possible.
4. Do not drink alcoholic beverages for a minimum of 18 hours after the procedure.
5. Do not sign any important or legal documents for 24 hours.
6. If there are any questions or concerns, contact the dental office. In case of an emergency, you should go to the nearest emergency room.
