Dental check up after Rhinoplasty?

Question

Hi Drs , I am almost 2 years post open tip rhi noplasty. Silly question, but It is safe to get a dental check up at this point? I am afraid that opening my mouth wide may cause deformation to my nose tip. Thanks

It would be perfectly fine to have a dental check up two years after your rhinoplasty.  There will be no harm to your nose with the exam.

Your fears are unfounded.  There will be no problem with dental check up.  Opening mouth does not harm any nasal features.

John Dean, MD · Answer

Opening your mouth for a dental check will not  alter your rhinoplasty results. Your dentist will tell you that waiting two years between dental visits is not good for your dental health, however.

Thomas Guillot, MD (retired) · Answer

Opening your mouth after a rhinoplasty should not cause any problems with your surgical result. A dental checkup is good.
