Hi,
All oral surgery is means your teeth were surgically removed. That term does not describe the extent or degree of oral surgery. You have surgical openings in your jawbone as well as open wounds and these things take time to heal closed. You may be tender for a few weeks..... sometimes a bit longer.
It is important to make sure you are brushing and flossing all of your teeth thoroughly.... not aggressively, just as well as you possibly can. The build up of plaque can cause bacterial infection so you want to minimize that from happening.
What is a YAO??

Still mainly soft foods but more of them as I feel more hungry now. I am afraid to brush to close to the last molars as I do not want to upset them. I guess I did not realize it would be such a long process UGH!!!  Thank you!
