If you’re getting ready for a dental implant, tooth extraction, bone graft or other oral surgery, you’re probably thinking about the procedure itself. But what about your recovery? Your body needs good nutrition, hydration and rest to support its natural healing process. At Concierge IV MD, we often talk with patients about ways they can take care of their overall health before and after a dental procedure.
Two nutrients that may be part of that conversation are vitamin C and vitamin D.
Why Vitamin C?
Vitamin C does a lot more than support your immune system. Your body also needs it to produce collagen and support normal wound healing.
For some patients, IV vitamin C may be considered as part of a personalized wellness plan surrounding dental surgery. Rather than taking another supplement by mouth—something you may not feel like doing immediately after oral surgery—IV therapy delivers vitamin C directly into the bloodstream.
And What About Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is important for healthy bones as well as normal immune function.
If you’re having a dental implant, bone graft or another procedure involving the jawbone, knowing whether you’re getting enough vitamin D may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider. For patients who need supplementation, vitamin D injections may be an option when medically appropriate.
Before or After Your Dental Procedure?
There isn’t one plan that’s right for everyone.
Some patients contact us before their procedure because they want to be proactive about their overall wellness. Others come in afterward when they’re focused on hydration, nutrition and getting back to feeling like themselves. Either way, we look at you first—your health history, medications, procedure and individual needs—before recommending treatment.
And we always want you to continue following the instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon.
A Little Planning Can Go a Long Way
You’ve already taken the time to choose your dentist or oral surgeon and prepare for your procedure. Taking care of the rest of your body deserves some attention, too.
Eat well. Stay hydrated. Get plenty of rest. Follow your surgeon’s instructions. And if you’d like to explore additional nutritional and hydration support, Concierge IV MD can help you decide whether IV vitamin C, a vitamin D injection or another personalized IV therapy may be appropriate for you.
