IMPORTANCE OF

EXTRACTION AFTERCARE

Ensure optimal healing and prevent complications with proper extraction aftercare. Our expert guide provides essential tips for pain management, oral hygiene, and a speedy recovery.

Bleeding management

  1. Bite on the gauze for 30 minutes. If the bleeding persist, change to a new gauze. You can also bite on moist teabags as tea contains tannic acid that help to stop bleeding.
  2. Slight oozing of blood in the first 24 hours is normal. But if the bleeding do not stop, contact us as soon as possible.
  3. Do not eat hot or spicy food for the first 24 hours.
  4. Do not exercise the first 24 hours.
  5. Do not use straw the first 24 hours.
  6. Do not rinse/ gargle/spit the first 24 hours.
  7. Avoid alcohol/smoking the first 24 hours.


Dental Care

  1. Brush gentle at adjacent areas, you can start brushing at the extraction site once you feel comfortable.
  2. Gargle with ½ teaspoon of salt + warm water 4 times a day (start one day after surgery)


Diet

  1. Avoid hot food and drinks. Eat cold and soft food instead.
