Cleaning and hydration can be accomplished by using an irrigation bag or bulb syringe saline rinses and gentle debridement with large cotton tipped applicator, sponge swabs or guaze.

When cleaning the mouth, care must be taken not to disrupt newly granulation tissue(blood clot).  

The patients that have been cleared by the surgeon to take food by mouth to use a spoon to place small bites on the unaffected side of the mouth and as far back as possible.  Forks should be avoided until incisions heal.  Immediately after surgery, clients may not be able to take food by mouth so a tube is placed in the stomach for liquid nutritonal supplement.
