Precautions After Tooth Extraction:
Precautions After Tooth Extraction:
Rest
Take it easy for the first 24 hours. Avoid any heavy work or exercise to help your body heal faster.
Bite on the Gauze
After the tooth is removed, your dentist will place a gauze pad on the area. Bite down on it gently for 30-45 minutes to stop bleeding.
Avoid Touching the Area
Don’t poke or touch the empty space with your fingers or tongue. This can disturb the healing process.
Eat Soft Foods
For the first few days, stick to soft foods like curd, dal, and mashed vegetables. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that can irritate the area.
Don’t Use a Straw
Don’t smoke or drink alcohol for at least 48 hours after the extraction. These can slow down healing and cause complications.
No Smoking or Alcohol
Don’t smoke or drink alcohol for at least 2-3 days after the surgery. These can slow down healing.
Brush Gently
Be careful when brushing your teeth, especially around the area where the tooth was removed. You can also rinse your mouth gently with salt water to keep it clean.
Use Ice for Swelling
If your face swells, apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek for 10-15 minutes at a time. This will help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Take Prescribed Medicines
Take any painkillers or antibiotics your dentist has prescribed on time to prevent pain or infection.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water, but make sure it’s not too hot.
Call the Doctor if Needed
If you have any heavy bleeding, severe pain, or swelling that doesn’t go away, call your doctor right away.
