Tooth extraction

Instructions for after extraction

June 27, 2015bmbdentalInstructions

Advice to dental patients: adults and children

  • To help your gum heals quickly, rest at home for the first 24 hours.
  • Do not smoke for 24-48 hours.
  • Do not rinse your mouth for 6 hours. Then mix one teaspoon of salt with 600ml of cool water and use as a mouth wash every 4 hours if necessary.
  • Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours as this may increase bleeding.
  • Wait until the anaesthetic has worn off before you eat or drink anything hot.
  • Take care not to bite or chew your lip or gum while you can’t feel it.
  • Avoid heavy exercise for 24-48 hours to prevent too much bleeding.

What to do if your gum bleeds a lot

Remove the wrapping from the gauze pad provided by the dentist, place the pad on the socket and bite down firmly on it, for at least 15 minutes.
