When it comes to pain management, communication between the patient and the oral surgeon is paramount. Prior to the procedure, Dr Rabinovich will discuss the various pain management options available and tailor a plan based on the patient’s medical history, preferences, and the complexity of the surgery. Non-pharmacological approaches such as ice packs, elevation of the head, and proper oral hygiene practices are often recommended alongside pain medications to enhance the efficacy of pain relief.

During the recovery phase, patients are typically prescribed pain medications to manage any discomfort or soreness. These may include over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medications, depending on the intensity of the pain and the individual’s response to treatment. It’s crucial for patients to adhere to the prescribed dosage and frequency of pain medications while being vigilant for any signs of adverse reactions.

In addition to medication, patients are advised to follow post-operative instructions provided by Dr Rabinovich diligently. This may include avoiding certain foods, refraining from strenuous physical activities, and maintaining proper oral hygiene practices to promote healing and prevent complications such as infection or dry socket.

Furthermore, regular follow-up appointments allow Dr Rabinovich and his San Francisco team to monitor the patient’s progress and address any concerns or complications promptly. Open communication between the patient and the dental care team ensures that any issues related to pain management or recovery are addressed effectively, fostering a smooth and comfortable healing process.
