Can oral surgery correct my sleep apnea?

Would I need to take opioids after my extraction?
Taking opioids after wisdom tooth removal is NOT a requirement! Recent research has shown that the brains of young adults are more susceptible to the risk of opiate addiction than older adults and many practitioners are reducing and sometimes eliminating the prescribing of narcotics to young adults and placing the burden on parents to withhold and administer opiates only after significant failure of a combination of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and an NSAID like ibuprofen or naproxen (Motrin/Aleve respectively) and then only half a pill of hydrocodone or oxycodone at a time.

Is there a follow-up required to the cleft lip surgery?
Without seeing her, that is a difficult question to answer. Ask the doctor who originally provided the surgery. The least number of surgeries the better, and a cleft team directly treating your daughter should have a time line on what to treat when for the best possible results. Please be patient READ MORE
