Precautions after tooth extraction

1. First of all, the most important thing is that after tooth extraction, you should stay calm and listen carefully to the doctor's instructions. This is very important.

2. It is best not to eat within 2 hours. Eat soft food, liquid or semi-liquid food on the same day. It is better to eat warm or cold food. Do not eat hard or overheated food. You can chew on the other side.

3. Do not rinse your mouth or spit too much on the day to prevent bleeding or infection. Do not repeatedly suck and spit out blood clots due to the bloody taste in your mouth, which will prevent the wound from healing.

4. Don’t brush your teeth on that day. Do not suck on the wound. No musical instrument.

5. It is normal to have blood in saliva within 1 week after tooth extraction. If the bleeding does not stop, go to the hospital for examination.

6. Try to exercise and talk less on the day of tooth extraction. Avoid smoking, drinking and spicy food.

7. If there are stitches in the mouth during tooth extraction, the stitches can usually be removed after 4 to 5 days.

8. Pay attention to the condition of the wound after tooth extraction. If there is a lot of bleeding, seek medical attention in time. The gauze or cotton ball on the wound after tooth extraction needs to be bitten for about half an hour before spitting it out. Do not bite it too tightly or for too long. A small amount of blood in your saliva is normal for 24 hours.

9. Generally, tooth extraction does not require oral conventional antibiotics. However, if you are extracting wisdom teeth or teeth with severe trauma, you must take oral antibiotics. If the symptoms worsen, antibiotics can be given intravenously.

10. It is recommended to use the special pure natural mouthwash supplied by our department - Shucha on the day of routine tooth extraction. Hold 5 ml of the original solution in the mouth for five minutes and then spit it out. There is no need to clean the mouth with clean water after spitting it out. You can repeat it many times a day and continue to use it to rinse your mouth from the second day onwards to reduce postoperative reactions.

11. Except for the third molar and supernumerary teeth, most adults need to wear dentures after tooth extraction. Dentures should be replaced about 2 months after extraction (except impacted teeth) to avoid adjacent teeth from falling over.

12. After tooth extraction, you can rest in a semi-recumbent position, but do not lie flat on your back. Do not take a hot bath immediately to avoid bleeding from the wound.
