Planning a trip after a dental procedure? It’s best to wait until you’ve healed — especially after major work like extractions, root canals, implants, or full-mouth rehabilitation. While light travel may be okay within a few days, flying or long-distance trips can affect swelling, bleeding, or healing.
Tips before you travel:
- Ask your dentist how long you should wait based on your procedure
- Avoid flying for 48–72 hours after oral surgery
- Bring prescribed medications and aftercare instructions with you
- Know where to find emergency dental care at your destination
When in doubt, give yourself a few days to recover before heading out — your smile (and your trip) will thank you!
