What to do if the bleeding does not stop after wisdom tooth extraction

Speaking of the term wisdom tooth, everyone should be familiar with it. Wisdom teeth are a type of human teeth. This type of tooth usually grows out when people are in their twenties or thirties. Some people's wisdom teeth grow more regularly and do not affect other teeth, while some people's wisdom teeth will affect other teeth and cause severe pain, so they need to have their wisdom teeth removed. Sometimes, removing wisdom teeth will cause bleeding. So what should you do if bleeding does not stop after removing wisdom teeth?

Removing wisdom teeth

1/7 Step by step reading

Pay attention to stop bleeding. After the wisdom tooth is removed, there will be bleeding. At this time, it is necessary to stop the bleeding in time. The doctor will place gauze or cotton balls on the wound. People should bite them to stop the bleeding better. Never lick the wound with the tongue to avoid knocking off the cotton balls and causing subsequent bleeding in the wound.

2/7

Do not touch the blood clot. After the wisdom tooth is removed, the wound will stop bleeding for a while, and there will be a thin layer of blood clot on the surface of the wound. People must not touch the blood clot easily, so as not to cause the blood clot to rupture and cause the wound to bleed again.

3/7

Use mouthwash. People cannot brush their teeth immediately after having their wisdom teeth removed. At this time, they should use mouthwash to clean the inside of the mouth. Holding the mouthwash for a few minutes and then spitting it out can clean the mouth very well. So everyone must remember to buy mouthwash after having their wisdom teeth removed!

4/7

Brush your teeth carefully. People use their teeth to eat every day, and only brushing can better clean the surface of the teeth. After removing wisdom teeth, you must be careful when brushing your teeth. Try to choose softer bristles, and be careful not to touch the injured surface when brushing your teeth.

5/7

Eat liquid food as much as possible. After people have their wisdom teeth removed, they will feel a lot of pain after the anesthesia wears off. They cannot eat within two hours after the extraction. It is recommended to eat liquid food in the following week so that the wound can recover faster.

6/7

Prevent inflammation. Once there is a wound, it is easy to induce inflammation. People must pay attention to preventing inflammation after tooth extraction. If inflammation occurs, it is recommended to take some medication to eliminate aerobic bacteria. This will inhibit the development of inflammation and make the wound heal faster.

7/7

If bleeding does not stop, seek medical attention immediately. Some people have fewer platelets and weaker coagulation function, so they may experience continuous bleeding after tooth extraction. If the bleeding does not stop after wisdom tooth extraction, you should see a doctor immediately to avoid causing excessive bleeding in the body.

Dental care:

1. Brushing your teeth at a 45-degree angle. Using the correct brushing method is particularly important for preventing dental diseases. Oral care experts recommend brushing your teeth after every meal, and each brushing should last for 2-3 minutes.

* Correct brushing angle and action: Place the toothbrush bristles at a 45-degree angle to the tooth surface and lightly press on the junction of the teeth and gums. Gently make small circular rotations. Brush the upper teeth from the gums downwards, and brush the lower teeth from the gums upwards.

2. Automatic toothbrushing is more fun. An electric toothbrush can remove 38% more dental plaque than an ordinary manual toothbrush. At the same time, the slight vibration caused by the high-speed rotation of the electric toothbrush can not only promote blood circulation in the oral cavity, but also has a very good massage effect on the gum tissue, achieving good results in dental care and gum protection. In terms of whitening, electric toothbrushes can effectively reduce tooth stains caused by drinking tea, coffee and poor oral conditions, and restore the original color of teeth.

3. The softer the toothpaste, the better. There are two things to consider when choosing toothpaste. One is whether it contains fluoride, because long-term use of toothpaste containing fluoride formula can effectively prevent tooth decay. The other is to see what raw materials are used for the abrasive in the toothpaste, because rough abrasives can cause wear on tooth enamel. Brushing your teeth with toothpaste that contains harsh abrasives for a long time is harmful to your teeth.
