So, your wisdom teeth are out. Now what?

The first 24 hours are the most important. Rest, ice the outside of your jaw, and stick to soft, cool foods (think yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, smoothies without seeds or a straw). Skip anything crunchy, spicy, or hot for a few days.

Follow your surgeon's aftercare instructions. That is how you avoid dry socket and get back to normal faster.

At Merrifield Oral Surgery, we want your dental implant surgery to succeed just as much as you do. That's why Dr. Pham, Dr. Coviello and Dr. Starley may recommend a bone graft before your implant surgery. A bone graft can provide a stable base for your implant and increase its long-term stability.

The dog days of summer are officially here. 🐶☀️

Happy first day of summer from Merrifield Oral Surgery!

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865 — the day the last enslaved people in the United States were informed of their freedom. It’s a time to reflect on history, honor resilience, and recognize the ongoing pursuit of equality.
