Post Extraction Care

After the tooth extraction, it is necessary to follow the dentist’s instructions. There are few rules that each patient must apply after such a procedure:

  • Take painkillers and antibiotics as prescribed
  • Do not smoke or reduce the number of cigarettes as possible as it may inhibit healing
  • Refrain from spitting, rinse forcefully or drink with a straw in the first 24 hours to avoid dislocating the blood clot formed in the socket
  • Eat mainly soft food after the procedure. Introduce solid food gradually and avoid biting and chewing on the affected side to prevent high pressure on the exposed gum;
  • Follow normal dental hygiene procedures carefully to prevent infection. Avoid crushing too vigorously near the extraction area to avoid irritation.
  • Rest for the day or until the anesthetic fades off

They are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth—this impaction is colloquially known as “coming in sideways.” A wisdom tooth is extracted to correct an actual problem or to prevent future dental health problems
