- Discomfort following dental surgery. It is normal to experience some discomfort, if medication has been given or prescribed, take as instructed. If not, take Tylenol, Motrin or Advil. Avoid Aspirin as it can cause bleeding
- Protecting your blood clot is the #1 thing you can do to prevent dry socket.. maintain gentle pressure by biting on the gauze sponge that has been placed over the surgical area for 45 minutes. Repeat as needed. If the area is still bleeding then bite on a tea bag that had been wrapped in gauze. It is normal to have blood seep from the socket for the next 24 hours, yet should not have all out bleeding; if there is then use gauze or a tea bag. Keep your head higher than any other part of your body; do not bend over. You should sleep with several pillows to keep your head up. Do not get yourself over heated.
- Do not rinse.. or use mouth wash for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours rinse with warm salt water. 5 times a day for the next 5 days (1/2 teaspoon table salt in 8 oz of warm water). The use of commercial mouthwashes during the healing period is not recommended.
- Toothbrush may be carefuly used in the area of the mouth not involved by the surgical procedures. Also brush the tongue. A clean mouth heals faster.
- Having adequate food and fluid intake following surgery and/or general extractions is most important. It is advised to be on a soft or liquid diet such as an instant breakfast drink for the first 24 hours after surgery.
- Avoid all excessive activity, don't pick at the surgical area, don't consume liquids through a straw, avoid both alcoholic and carbonated beverages and refrain from smoking until healing is well established.
- Sutures generally dissolve in 10 days, if they bother you after 10 days, call your dentist.
- Control of swelling gently apply ice packs to area for periods of 20 minutes on, 10 minutes off. This procedure should continue for the first 24 hours only. If swelling on the 3rd day call the doctor. This means you have an infection.
- Allergic reactions for generalized rash, itching, etc., call dentist immediately.
- Do not hesitate to call your dentist if any questions arise. It is not unusualy to have bone splinters appear weeks later sometimes there is a blue mark that surfaces on the outer skin near the extraction site which will go away in two or three weeks.
