Extraction Do's
Below are some things you can do to help your mouth heal.
Do eat a diet of soft, healthy foods and snacks.  It may be easier for you to eat soft foods soon after your extraction. Drink plenty of liquids while you're healing.
Do brush your teeth gently.  Avoid brushing around the extraction. And don't use any toothpaste. Rinsing toothpaste from your mouth may dislodge the blood clot.
Do keep the extraction site clean.  After 12 hours you may be able to gently rinse your mouth. Rinse 4 times a day with 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass of water. Check with your dentist first. |
