Optimize Patient Healing Through Lifestyle Changes, with Dr. Gaby Tehrany

Everyday Oral Surgery

Of all the things that are within your control, having a healthy and balanced lifestyle is the best way to keep the doctor at bay. Furthermore, your lifestyle dictates your healing rate post-surgery, so you must understand what your body needs to bring you back to 100% as quickly as possible. Today we are joined by Dr. Gaby Tehrany, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon practicing in Los Angeles, California, and she begins by walking us through everything she learned at the recent annual AAOMS summit. We discover how Dr. Gaby got into functional medicine and how she uses it in her practice before unpacking the importance of diet and nutrition both for a healthy lifestyle and for quick recoveries from illness and injury. We discuss why smoothies aren’t always the best choice, the supplements and vitamins that work and those that don’t, the importance of regular exercise and staying mobile, and the wonders of sleep in aiding recovery and reducing stress. We also explore healthy pain management methods, how to manage your oral hygiene, Dr. Gabby’s treatment protocol at her practice, and a reminder that drastic improvement starts with small, simple changes.
