Postsurgical complications.

The most common complications of oral surgery include bleeding, pain, swelling, infection, dry socket, and fracture. Bleeding can be controlled by applying gauze pressure to the area or through the use of hemostatic agents. A dry socket should have a dressing with eugenol applied, whereas a prescription for antibiotics or analgesics can take care of some of the other problems. Patients with fractures should be referred to a dentist or oral surgeon for treatment.
