After Oral Surgery: Post-Operative CareOn day 1:

DO NOT under any circumstances smoke, rinse your mouth vigorously, or drink forcefully through a straw for 48 hours. These activities will disturb the forming blood clot and can lead to a painful condition called dry socket.

DO NOT RINSE MOUTH TODAY: You may drink liquids as usual, but do not rinse and spit as this may dislodge blood clot in the healing site.

BLEEDING: Following tooth removal some bleeding is to be expected. Keep biting pressure on gauze for approximately 1-2 hours. Repeat if necessary, replacing gauze every 30-45 minutes.

On day 2:

Following extraction, you may gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1/2 tsp. salt in 1 glass of warm water). Rinse your mouth ever 3 to 4 hours (especially after meals). Continue rinses for several days.

You may brush and floss your teeth as normal, being careful not to brush into extraction site. Proper oral hygiene will speed the healing process and diminish sensitivity. For the first few days following oral surgery, use light, gentle pressure when brushing and flossing around the surgical site.

On day 3:

Following extraction, you may pick out any food from extraction site, gently, with a toothpick. Continue to do this until the area is completely healed, usually about 3-4 weeks.

SWELLING: After an extraction, you may feel some discomfort or swelling. A plastic bag of ice wrapped in a towel should be applied to the operated area-30 minutes on and 30 minutes off-for 4 to 5 hours.

MEDICATION: For mild to average pain, use any non-aspirin type of pain medication you like. If your surgery was extensive, a prescribed medication for pain and or antibiotic for infection should be taken as directed.

FOOD: Drink plenty of fluids and maintain a soft, light diet for the first couple days following your surgery. Do not suck on extraction site and avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours following your surgery.

Dr. Oswick is the best Dentist in the Windermere area. He has always treated me fairly and it has always been an overall good experience.

Anthony F Oswick DMD have been my family and friends dentist for over 20 years in Windermere. He has always taken care of our cleanings, pulls, fillings, braces, veneers and other services with no problems, ever... He has always treated us farily and has always been there for our emergencies with our kids and grandkids. I have always seen their office as the most friendly, and talented out there.

I've even seen their written customer Testimonials on their office wall. Some of those same customers Testimonials show up under the same names as reviews posted on the internet.

I would suggest calling their office or visiting them, as I would suggest for any Family Dentistry. Some of their customers Testimonials are on their website http://www.OswickKashlakDMD.com

Thanks for being our Dentists.

My new patient appointment was made about 2 weeks prior with Marcy whom was very nice. I had read the other neg reviews especially about them trying to overcharge. I decided to go anyways thinking that maybe the customers just didn"t understand thier coverage. I went in for my appt. filled out all paperwork and was ask for a 30.00 copay. My copay is 10.00. So when I questioned it, the male Dentist, with out even looking at me, said it was 10.00 for office and 20.00 for urgency appt. I expalined my appt wasn't an urgency, he said they are not even booking til May so i would have to rebook and comeback. I said I wouldn't be back he just said ok. I was sooo mad. I called the next day and spoke to him and he was so rude. I explained how upset I was at what happened and that just like he would be mad if someone wasted his time I was because I had to take time off work to come in. He asked what I wanted, I said an appology would would be a nice start, he ignored what I said and ...
