Based on your experiences, can anyone tell me how much recovery time I may need after having cavitation surgery? I am trying to plan ahead and let my employer know how many days I will be out. Will I be able to eat right away? Will I need to take pain meds? For how long?
Any of your own personal experiences you can share would be most helpful. Thanks!
I've never had it done but have been told by those that do it that recovery time depends on your own immune system and what supplements you might take to support rapid healing. Pain meds can help and I believe it can take as long as a standard tooth extraction to recover from. Depends on the individual and tolerance.
I had 2 left wisdom teeth pulled in 05 along with upper rear molar on left and it's left me with 4 years of chronic facial pain which has been somewhat relieved tho not 100% by an NTI bite guard because of malocclusion (caused by the removals) inflamming the facial muscles over the tooth socket sites. I've seen Dr. Shankland who will not commit to me needing surgery, though my lower left wisdom tooth site might need it.
Hi, If I remember correctly, this is about the timeline that things happened: within about a day the bleeding and spotting stopped, within a couple days the pain meds weren't necessary, within about a week the stiches came out, within about a year the bone graft hardens completely.
Choose a good doctor for minimal recovery time, case in point: My relative went to Dr. Alireza Panahpour and the recovery time was amazing. Everything healed super fast and beautifully. He is the best. She went to a nightmare oral surgeon before Pana named Dr. Erwin and recovery was hell and things still hurt from him, so I witnessed firsthand what can happen when you go to a bad doctor: you don't recover.
In terms of your wisdom teeth, Dr. Panahpour can clean cavitations left by wisdom teeth extracted improperly, he sees it and does it all the time and sees it right away on the xrays even if your regular dentist misses it like most do because they don't know what to look for. He also rehabilitates bite misalignments/TMJ issues. Seeing what comes out of cavitation areas is amazing and you would think that the body would freak out by being invaded by surgery, but it is exactly the opposite when the surgeon is gentle and thorough like Pana, the body is actually relieved that it doesn't have to deal infection anymore. It breaths a sigh of relief, but only if the surgeon employs gentle removal methods like Pana does. He is very minimalist and noninvasive but thorough. He is just amazing, he does the best oral surgery work in the world, hands down. Also he loves it when his patients still have their wisdom teeth in, he is an oral surgeon who doesn't do routine removals to line his pockets like others do that is how you know he is a true biological/holistic dentist. He believes wisdom teeth are good for a person to keep when possible which is a lot of the time.
thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm glad to hear about successful cavitation surgeries. I have heard that each individual will heal differently, some faster than others. I think your over all health and strength of your immune system at the time of surgery is a determinate as well. I am currently bolstering my system with a special blend of enzymes made specifically for my body's needs by NCIT (North Carolina Institute of Technology) http://northcarolinainstituteoftechnology.com/
I'm also taking Quantum Nutrition Center's (http://www.qncenter.com/) pure vitamin C, hyssop complex, nucleotide complex, dental-zyme, liquid B vitamins concentrate, and liquid vitamin E concentrate.
I plan to follow up with the success of my surgery sometime in February.
