Follow the instructions specific to your repair, biopsy, joint procedure, or reconstruction. Keep incisions clean, take medications as prescribed, avoid disturbing sutures or dressings, and follow any diet, jaw movement, or activity limits from your surgeon. Call Bluebird Oral Surgery for increasing pain, fever, drainage, worsening swelling, numbness that changes suddenly, bite changes, difficulty opening, or any concern that does not feel expected for your recovery.
