Recommendations for patients after tooth removal

Removal (extraction) of a tooth is a small operation. To keep the healing process smooth and fast, always follow the doctor’s recommendations and the following rules:

1. Behavior after surgery:

remove the gauze swab in 20-30 minutes after tooth extraction;

on the day of surgery, do not drinki and eat for 2-3 hours. A clot should form in the hole. Eating food and drinks can disrupt the clot formation process;

for 3 days, exclude rough, spicy, hot food. This food can injure the hole, and hot food can increase blood flow and increase postoperative inflammation and edema;

for 2-3 days, refuse from the bath, hot bath, sauna, high physical activity, because this can lead to the increasing of pressure and loss of a blood clot; do not injure the hole, do not try to rinse or clean it. If you notice something in the area of ​​the operation that confuses you, do not try to remove it yourself. Go to see a doctor;

you can not rinse the area of ​​the hole. This can lead to leaching of the clot and infection of the hole; thorough oral hygiene is essential. It is necessary to brush your teeth 2 times a day, with a minimum amount of toothpaste, bypassing the area of ​​the extracted tooth, trying not to damage the socket of the extracted tooth;

you cannot warm the area of ​​surgery (put hand on the cheek, sleep on the cheek), use heat compresses. This leads to the increasing of blood flow and serious complications;

you can not open your mouth widely and make mimic movements if stitches have been imposed – they can disperse;

2. Remember that after surgery, such phenomena are possible:

pain in the area of ​​operation. The most painful period is 1-2 hours after removal. Take pain relievers, recommended by your doctor.

swelling of the soft tissues of face on the side of removal. Most often it happens after a complex removal, removal of wisdom teeth. The cause is post-traumatic inflammation. Edema should be monitored and if it increases, go to see a doctor. Never heat the area of ​​the extracted tooth! Complete all doctor’s appointments.

“bruise” on the skin on the removal side. It appears after the edema decreases or disappears. Most often happens to patients with high blood pressure or after difficult removal.

painful opening of the mouth. It happens after the removal of the lower wisdom teeth.

increasing of body temperature in the evening to 38 degrees Celsius, decreasing in the morning to normal or slightly higher value. This reaction suggests that body is fighting with the inflammatory process, because this is a protective reaction of body.

3. See your doctor if:

pain intensifies and (or) persists, is not relieved by pain meds;

bleeding from the area of ​​surgery appears, increases and (or) persists;

edema of soft tissues persists or increases,
