How To Take Care Of Your Mouth After Dental Extractions
After tooth extraction, it is worth adhering to certain rules and recommendations of the dentist – they help to avoid both discomfort and complications.
– You should not eat for several hours after the procedure. This can damage the gum surface that is not yet tightened and cause infection.
– Closely monitor the place where the tooth was – and if it bleeds heavily, consult a doctor.
– You can take pain relievers if needed.
– Do not drink with a straw, smoke, or eat hot food. All of these actions can help dissolve the blood clot that usually forms in the socket after pulling out a tooth, which can lead to pain or an increase in the healing time of the gums.
