We love a good iced coffee, too—but if you just had oral surgery, drop the straw. 🚫
Suction = dry socket. And dry socket = no one’s having fun anymore.
Hydrate, yes. Gently. With no vacuum-level suction involved.

Getting your wisdom teeth out? First of all—you're a champ.
Second—yes, ice cream is on the post-op menu (just skip the crunchy cone 🍦).
Stick to soft, cold, smooth foods and take it easy.
✨ It’s called healing, not hangry-ing.

🐢✨ Healing Reminder:
Turtles have it right — slow and steady wins the race! 🏁
And the same goes for your recovery after oral surgery.

Healing isn’t a sprint — it’s a journey that takes patience, rest, and a little extra TLC. 💖
Rushing back into normal activities too soon can actually slow down your recovery or cause complications. 😬

Here’s how to stay on track:
✅ Follow all post-op instructions carefully
✅ Take it easy for a few days (yes, binge-watching counts as healing!) 📺
✅ Stay away from straws, crunchy foods, and anything your provider says to avoid
✅ Listen to your body — it’s working hard to get you back to 100%!

Trust the process — your smile is so worth it. 🦷💫
Slow, steady, and strong is the name of the game!

🦷🎩 Oral Surgery Humor Time! 🎩🦷
We couldn’t resist sneaking in a dental dad joke today… ready? 😏

💬 “What do you call a dentist who also performs magic?”
✨ An extractionist!
(We know, we know… but we had to! 😅)

Because sometimes, a little laughter really is the best medicine — especially if you’re recovering from a procedure or feeling nervous about an upcoming one. 💖

Our team is here to make sure your oral surgery experience is as smooth, stress-free, and yes — maybe even a little fun — as possible. 😁

Got a favorite dental joke? Drop it in the comments — we love a good laugh!

🍷✨ It might be , but if you’ve recently had oral surgery — hit the PAUSE button on the pour! ⏸️🥂

🚫 NO alcohol post-surgery — and here’s why:
• Alcohol can slow down healing and irritate your surgical site 😬

Instead, celebrate with soft, healing-friendly snacks and drinks — and give your mouth the TLC it deserves. 💖
Always follow your post-op instructions to stay on track for a smooth and pain-free recovery!

Cheers (gently) to healthy healing and happy smiles! 🦷✨
