How can I recover after an oral biopsy?

After an oral biopsy, it's important to follow your dentist's recovery instructions exactly. After your biopsy, you may feel mild discomfort. To relieve the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain medication. You may also have some minor bleeding, so continue using the gauze provided by your dentist. During the recovery phase, continue practicing good oral hygiene, but avoid the biopsy site and be gentle while brushing around it.
