for most cases. The following tips can help you in recovering quickly:

Do not to bite the inside of your lip or cheek and tongue while your mouth is still numb.

Place an ice pack outside of you cheek for 15 to 20 minutes for the first 24 hours.
Physical activities may increase bleeding so make sure you take time to relax after the surgery.
Eat soft foods and gradually incorporate solid food as the healing progresses.
To reduce swelling and relieve pain, gently rinse mouth with warm saline water several times a day. This is best recommended after the first day of the surgery.
Avoid smoking and drinking from a straw.
Brush your teeth and tongue carefully.
