What to do if the tooth is painful after anesthesia

Whether it is tooth decay or wisdom teeth, if it becomes serious to a certain extent, it will require tooth extraction. Although people in modern society pay more and more attention to the health protection of their teeth, many people still have dental health problems. During tooth extraction, in order to reduce the patient's pain, dentists usually inject anesthetics into the patient. But after the tooth is extracted, how should the pain be relieved when the effect of the anesthetic wears off?

First of all, you should choose a reputable hospital, or a local top three hospital (I chose the best local private dental hospital), which will reduce the pain during the tooth extraction process under the best medical conditions and complete the tooth extraction as quickly as possible under sterile conditions;

After tooth extraction, you must maintain a calm state of mind to facilitate healing after tooth extraction, and listen carefully to the doctor's instructions; after tooth extraction, you should pay attention to talking less, try not to talk, do not do strenuous exercise or physical labor, and pay attention to rest more!

Do not eat immediately after tooth extraction, you can apply ice to your cheeks. You can eat after 2 hours. The food should be soft and cold (I prepared an ice cream for myself at that time, haha, the best reason to eat ice cream). Other foods such as porridge and liquid food should be avoided. Do not suck the place where the tooth was extracted.

After tooth extraction, bite the gauze roll placed on the wound tightly and spit it out gently after 30-45 minutes. The main purpose of biting the gauze is to stop bleeding and promote blood clotting in the wound. If the gauze roll is pushed out too early, it may cause bleeding in the tooth extraction wound.

Do not rinse your mouth or brush your teeth within 24 hours after tooth extraction to avoid the blood clots that have just formed in the wound falling off, bleeding, and infection. Do not use your fingers, toothpicks, or other objects to stir the wound to avoid infection.

There may be blood in the saliva within 24 hours after tooth extraction, but it is not a big deal. If the wound continues to bleed and blood clots are spit out, you should stop the bleeding immediately or go to the doctor directly. There will still be slight pain for about 3 days, but if it still hurts and has a fever after 3 days, remember to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time;

If you need sutures after tooth extraction, remember to go to the hospital to remove the sutures in 5 to 7 days (I had my wisdom teeth extracted, and the wound was large, so I went to the hospital to suture them 7 days later). If you need to have a denture, come back for a follow-up visit in about a month, so don't miss the best time for diagnosis and treatment;

Remember to take some anti-inflammatory medicine after tooth extraction, otherwise it is easy to cause fever and other problems.
