I just had a lingual frenectomy done with a laser. Procedure wasn't that painful, but when I speak, it stings?

Question

Any recommendations on what I should do to promote the healing process? How long is it going to sting?

Answer 1

Yes, try these:

For Mouth Pain due to Canker Sores, Biting or Burns

• Zilactin-B by Zila Pharmaceuticals

• OraBase by Colgate

• Rincinol P.R.N. by John O. Butler

• Orajel—Mouth Sore Medicine Gel or Discs by Orajel Co.

• Available over the counter at most pharmacies.

• If the lesion does not heal in 10-14 days please call for an appointment to have it checked.

That is a sensitive area....the zilactin or orabase would help!
