CARE OF THE MOUTH AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION


It is normal to have some pain, discomfort, perhaps some swelling after tooth extraction.

There will be slight bleeding for some hours after the extraction.

DO NOT USE ANY MOUTHWASHES OR RINSES FOR 12 HOURS following tooth extraction.

IF bleeding persist after this time, or is excessive, place a rolled up CLEAN gauze over the socket and bite steadily and firmly on this for 20 minutes timed by the clock, do not disturb the gauze pad during this period. 

This usually stops any bleeding-if not repeat the process. If there is still bleeding, consult the dentist for advice.

Be sure to take any pills or medicine which the Dentist prescribes for you.

Eat, drink carefully- only soft food and keep it away from the socket.

After 24 hours DO use warm salt mouthwashes to keep the socket clean, especially after meals (half a teaspoonful of ordinary table salt in a glass of warm water).
