What to do:
✅ Bite on the cotton that has been kept at the extraction site for about 30 to 45 minutes.
✅ Remove the cotton after 45 minutes and take something extremely cold, like a cup of ice cream. Take your painkiller right away before the effect of anaesthesia wears off.
✅ Take a cold and soft diet for 24 hours.
✅ To prevent swelling, apply an ice pack or a cold towel to your cheek behind the area of the tooth. Do this for at least 20 minutes. Repeat the same every hour for the first 24 hours.
✅ 24 hours after the surgery, gently rinse with warm salt water 3-4 times a day. Continue these rinses for the next 3-4 days.
What Not to do:
❌ Do not spit or rinse for the next 24 hours after surgery, it may lead to bleeding.
❌ Avoid hot and hard foodstuffs on the day of the extraction.
❌ Do not drink through a straw, blow your nose or sneeze. This may dislodge the blood clot.
❌ Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for at least 48 hours.
❌ Avoid heavy lifting for 2-3 days.
