What to do after having a tooth out?

So, you‘ve had a tooth extracted. Congratulations – you now have an extra gap in your smile! Don’t worry though, it’s not uncommon and there are plenty of things you can do to make the healing process as smooth as possible.

First 24 hours

The first 24 hours after extraction are crucial. You’ll need to rest up and take care of yourself if you want to avoid complications.

Rest

First things first: rest! Don’t try and push yourself too hard right away. Lie down or at least sit still for a while, fight the temptation crawl on all fours around town like Gollum. This will give your body time to heal properly.

Ice Pack Bae

Your face may begin swelling up once the numbing medicine wears off- So no horror movies with clown characters or any glass windows where clowns might seem closer than they appear is advisable within this period especially…to help bring this down apply ice packs (covered with cloth) on your cheek overlying the extracted area by intervals of 10 minutes with intervals of alternating resting periods tops(2).

Medication? Yes please!

If your dentist prescribed medication – READ THE LABEL BEFORE PURCHASING !! Half dose nowadays sometimes suffices but if that’s not effective for temporary relief in controlling pain given papain comes visiting soon get back onto scheduled doses; more importantly don’t forget about antibiotics which could be what helps prevent infection from setting in amirite !?

Biting No-No

You’ll also need to avoid biting anything down hard or smoking dummies cigarettes whilst trying catch breeze outdoors!! until at least two weeks after extraction…

Eating post-extraction

One of the most common questions following dental surgery is “What can I eat?” Whilst everyone’s circumstances differ slightly read on here peops…

I-In the Raw

RAW DIET .. anyone who wants to take it seriously though probably should avoid chewier or harder raw vegetables and fruits which would cause pain when crunching down on.

II-Clear liquids work UP TO A POINT

Clear liquids? Water, vegetable juice etc.. often a go-to option of soothe the area while not disturbing dental work. Do note that if you experience any burning sensations in your throat , excessive coughing symptoms don’t blame us; switch up that Gatorade for some yogurt drinks with low sugar levels instead ;D

III- Chicken broth , soups & BETTER-JUCIER beverages

Chicken broth is thot after as gold around these parts – warm and soothing liquid will be perfect for intake at this time period! Soft diet of scrambled eggs also good while other meats like fish, flakes would suffice without leaving unwanted residue …

IV- Donuts are great but NOT until day 2+

You’ll have to start off super soft indeed unfortunately which means no burgers (too hard!), nothing too crunchy, apples gives cavities anyway so none of this was gonna worked out anyways rolls eyes… But as you begin moving along Day 1 will give way into rice pudding by day two!.

{This table below provides Options u can customise according to ur available tastes}

SOFT FOODS NOT-SOFT FOODS
Yogurt Any flavourful ice creams
Cereal(mushy-ok) NUTSS
Mashed Potatoes Crisp Cookies

Healing process: What’s normal?

So what happens now? Well, you’re going to continue feeling soreness especially in forms of “trigger sensitivity” depending on how intense y=your gums become due to infection/pre-extraction condition(8). Bleeding should stop relatively quickly although minor amounts could last just above the 48-hours margin. {Insert scary warning/medical alerts here}.

In any case, be sure to follow your dentist’s instructions for best results… we are not certified health officers so don’t go blaming us post-op!!.

What NOT to do

There are a few things that you absolutely shouldn’t do following dental surgery:

I- Don’t skip on cleaning routines!!

Don’t forget to keep up with normal mouth hygiene! This means keeping the area around extraction cleaned without wetting gums or any bloody areas yet ; taking hard swats at other teeth in rage is not an advisable task ..

II- No Straws&Bottles

Avoid straws and bottles which might force pressure on sutures too soon after removal .. let time take its full course ya’ll ….

III—-> NO Smoking.. ANYTHING!

You already read that just two but ,to hammer it home:NO smoking of anything in first four days especially can decrease circulation which may result against wound healing((4)!)….

…things really aren’t much different from before your tooth was extracted – you’re still going about daily tasks with some added precautions tacked onto teeth !! Remember, there’s nothing better than falling back into routine!.
