After surgery, healing is everything. In this video, Dr. Robert Stanley, the Smile Engineer, breaks down the “4 S’s of Surgical Success” every patient needs to know:

• No spitting
• No straws
• No smoking
• No swishing

Each of these simple actions can create negative pressure or introduce irritation that disrupts blood clot formation and slows down recovery. Dr. Stanley explains why avoiding these behaviors is critical for proper healing and long-term surgical success. Whether you’re a patient recovering from dental surgery or a dentist educating your own patients, this video is a must-watch.
