What are dos and donts after tooth extraction?

DOs: Use gauze, rest and elevate your head, take prescribed medications, use ice packs, eat soft foods for the first 24-48 hours. DONTs: Avoid smoking, using straws, spitting, rinsing your mouth, blowing your nose or sneezing, probing the extraction site with your tongue.

What should you not do after a tooth extraction?

Dont drink with a straw, on candy or ice pops, slurp soups or other liquids, rinse your mouth vigorously, or smoke for 24 hours. These things create suction in the mouth. This may dislodge the blood clot. Dont drink alcohol or use mouthwash containing alcohol for 24 hours.

What are the post op instructions for extractions?

Post-Operative Instructions Do not rinse or spit for 24 hours after surgery. Keep your fingers and tongue away from the socket or surgical area. Use ice packs on the surgical area (side of face) for the first 48 hours; apply ice 20 minutes on and 10 minutes off.

Why is day 3 the worst after tooth extraction?

The swelling will build over the first 48 to 72 hours and then plateau for 2-3 days making the 3rd-5th days the worst for pain and swelling. However, the swelling may be minimized by the immediate use of ice packs.

How can I make my tooth extraction heal faster?

Though it may be tempting to touch or inspect the extraction site, doing so can cause additional bleeding, dislodge a suture, or even lead to dry socket, a painful condition. Keep your fingers and tongue away from the site as much as possible.
