What to do if the big tooth is pulled

After the molars are extracted, you should replace them with dentures in time. There are many ways to do this, such as removable dentures, but they are generally not recommended for molars. Another option is fixed dentures, which can be made with porcelain. After all, molars are relatively obvious teeth, and making them more beautiful can also help improve a person's overall temperament. In this regard, you must go to a regular dental clinic for examination in time.

Tooth extraction precautions

1. Precautions before tooth extraction

Don't eat too much. Try to wait an hour after a meal before having a tooth extracted, and don't have a tooth extracted on an empty stomach. To avoid symptoms such as hypoglycemia and shock.

Don't drink alcohol before having a tooth extracted, or at least not on the day of the extraction.

Do not extract teeth after exercise. After exercise, blood circulation speeds up and blood pressure rises. In this case, tooth extraction is contraindicated. Tooth extraction precautions

2. Precautions after tooth extraction

The cotton ball or gauze bitten in the mouth must be spit out after 40 minutes. After spitting it out, you can eat some ice cream, drink ice water or apply ice compress locally.

Do not lick the wound with your tongue after tooth extraction, do not brush your teeth or rinse your mouth within 24 hours, and be careful to protect the wound when brushing your teeth the next day.

You can eat soft or liquid food on the day of tooth extraction, but do not chew with the affected side and do not eat irritating food. Generally, the wound will heal 7 days after tooth extraction before you can chew with the extracted side.

Talk less on the day of tooth extraction and try not to spit within 4 days, otherwise it will affect the healing of the wound and cause bleeding.

Quit smoking and drinking, and avoid strenuous exercise.

If the pain gradually worsens 2 to 3 days after tooth extraction, you need to return for a follow-up visit or contact your doctor in time. Tooth extraction precautions

3. Who should not have their teeth extracted?

Blood diseases: They can cause decreased blood coagulation and continuous bleeding after surgery, such as hemophilia, leukemia, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura and scurvy, so tooth extraction should be avoided.

Liver disease: Tooth extraction should be postponed for patients with acute hepatitis or severe liver damage, because this type of liver disease can cause postoperative bleeding due to lack of prothrombin and fibrin, or the liver's inability to use vitamin K to synthesize related coagulation factors. Tooth extraction must be postponed until the disease improves. For patients with chronic hepatitis, tooth extraction can be performed without obvious damage to liver function, but the prothrombin time should be measured before the operation. To prevent postoperative bleeding, hemostatic drugs such as vitamin K and hemostatic agents should be used after tooth extraction.

Kidney disease: People with severe renal impairment should not have their teeth extracted to avoid renal failure. Generally, patients with mild kidney disease should be given antibiotic injections before tooth extraction to prevent temporary bacteremia caused by tooth extraction, which may trigger an acute attack of kidney disease.

Diabetes: Diabetic patients are more susceptible to infection after surgery due to their reduced resistance. Patients with serious conditions should postpone tooth extraction. For those who must have a tooth extracted, a physician should be consulted to control blood sugar levels so that they are not too high before the tooth is extracted (fasting blood sugar in the morning should not exceed 6.8 mmol/L (160 mg%)). Antibiotics should be used before and after tooth extraction surgery to prevent complications.
