How long does it take to recover from alveoloplasty of the back section?

Recovery time from alveoloplasty in the back section of the mouth generally takes about 1 to 2 weeks for initial healing. However, complete healing of the bone and gum tissue may take several months. During the first week, patients may experience swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain relievers and ice packs. It's essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon for optimal recovery.
