Immediate Loading: Great Treatment, Wrong Hands
Immediate loading is an excellent technique that turns bad as a «one-size-fits-all protocol». The difference is the hand, not the tool.
Oral sutures: when they come out and whether it hurts
Oral sutures after dental surgery: when non-resorbable stitches come out (usually 7–10 days), whether removal hurts, and what to do if one falls early.
Smoking after an implant or extraction: how long to wait
Smoking after an extraction triples dry socket risk; after an implant it roughly doubles the failure rate. How long to wait and why.
How long does swelling last after a dental implant
Swelling after a dental implant peaks at 48–72 hours and clears in about a week. What actually works against oedema and when to call your dentist.
Tooth extraction: what to do in the first 48 hours
The first 48 hours after a tooth extraction decide the healing outcome: protect the clot, manage pain, avoid the right things. A practical guide.
