1. AVOID HARD FOODS DURING THE PROVISIONAL PHASE. EAT EVERYTHING WITH A KNIFE AND FORK!! YES, I AM SERIOUS. Other things to avoid include Turmeric and cumin (WILL STAIN your temporaries. Be sure to check ingredients in products such as vitamins, protein shakes etc.)
  2. Use purple DenTek Proxa-Brushes 2x a day.
  3. Use your WaterPik 2x a day (start out on settings 1-2, then work your way up to 3-4 when gum tissue is not as tender). NEVER skip a night of using Proxa-Brushes and WaterPik.
  4. Hydrogen Peroxide syringes should be used to "flush” around temporaries 2-3x per day.
  5. ONE WEEK PRIOR TO CEMENTATION APPOINTMENT, start swishing with Therasol rinse for 30 seconds - 1 minute after brushing AM and PM. Your start date to switch to Therasol is written on the bottle.
  6. YOU HAVE 2 PRESCRIPTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT TO YOUR PHARMACY: Magic Mouthwash and Ibuprofen 800mg
    1. Magic Mouthwash: Store in fridge; swish PRN for at least a minute before spitting out; use for gum tissue inflammation and soreness to numb it. Try to avoid eating or drinking for an hour after to get longest lasting results.
    2. Ibuprofen 800mg: Take 1 tablet every 8 hours around the clock for the first 72 hours. Use as needed for dental pain every 8 hours after the first 3 days. Try to time this so you are taking a dose right before bed and not having to wake up during the night for those first few nights to take your next dose!
