The wound usually recovers in about 5 to 7 days after removal of a benign oral mass, and the recovery time may be extended if the patient develops a localized infection in the wound after surgery.
Surgical treatment is usually required after diagnosis of benign oral mass. Since the boundary between the cyst and the surrounding tissues is more obvious, the surgical wound is also smaller, and the mucosa is sutured in place after surgery. After the removal of benign oral mass, if the patient’s wound is not locally infected, the suture can usually be removed about 5 days after the surgery, and the wound will gradually recover about 7 days after the surgery.
At the same time, patients need to pay attention to local oral cleanliness, and can choose the appropriate mouthwash to keep the mouth clean, which will help wound healing. Recovery time may be faster if the patient receives good postoperative care.
If infection occurs after benign oral mass excision, it is recommended to seek prompt medical attention to avoid delaying the condition.
