Precautions after tooth extraction

In daily life, if you do not pay attention to oral hygiene, like to eat sweets, and do not develop the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, it is very likely to cause tooth decay. Although when the symptoms of tooth decay are not serious, you only need to fill the holes in the teeth, but the symptoms of many patients with tooth decay are actually very serious. At this time, the best way to solve the problem is to extract the tooth.

Speaking of tooth extraction, many friends know that it is very painful, so they are very concerned about the preparations that need to be made during tooth extraction. However, they do not know that you also need to take good care of yourself after tooth extraction to avoid gum inflammation. So, what are the specific 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.

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.
