I understand your concerns about pain management after your upcoming crown lengthening surgery. This can be an anxiety-provoking procedure, but rest assured my team and I will do everything we can to minimize discomfort.
While opioids are not an option, there are other effective ways to manage pain. Ice packs, OTC pain medication like meloxicam and Tylenol, and the antibiotic prescribed by your periodontist should help. We also often recommend soft foods, lots of fluids, rest and relaxation after surgery. Your Xanax prescription is perfectly reasonable to take the edge off as well.
Some degree of pain is normal, but it should be manageable with the regimen above. However, if you experience severe, unrelenting pain that is not controlled by these methods, call us right away. We can then explore other options like stronger prescription pain medication or re-evaluating the surgery site.
I understand your concerns given your prior dental procedure, but technology and techniques have improved greatly. Trust that we will take great care during surgery to minimize trauma and support you fully afterward. Let's stay in close contact to ensure your comfort. Wishing you an easy recovery!
