THINGS TO DO AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION
Everyone gets a tooth extracted at a clinic one day, but does he know what to do next? I think no.
The dentist is not being listened with the excitement of that moment, or some of them are skipped because there is a lot to do.
Now, we explain everything that needs to be done here;
1) MUST NOT BE SPITTED.
The space of the extraction site must be filled with blood for the wound to heal. In case of a blood clot, it should stay in the extraction space so that it heals quickly and does not cause pain.
But when we spit, we remove the clot from there with negative pressure. This ensures that the bleeding does not stop and reduces healing.
2) TOBACCO AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS SHOULD NOT BE USED.
Nicotine in cigarettes has vasoconstrictor properties. This means that there is no blood that should be in the space where tooth is extracted. The cavity becomes like a dry earth and causes throbbing pain. Just as the soil needs water, that gap also needs bleeding.
3) ANY FOREIGN MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE INTAKED IN THE EXTRACTION GAP.
The extracted place should not be pressed with a napkin because it is bleeding. It should not be blended with a toothpick just because something is running into it. It should not be touched with your hands. This and similar movements can cause infection of the cavity of extraction. Remember, every foreign body is a focus of infection.
4) IF GIVEN RECIPE, IT MUST BE USED PROPERLY.
Antibiotics in the prescriptions can only take effect within 3 days. Using them irregularly will not help you or even harm you. If they are prescribed, it should be used properly.
5) IT SHOULD NOT BE HAD ANY CONCERN IF THERE IS SWELLING ON FACE .
During tooth extraction; No matter how much we don’t want it, a trauma is applied to the jawbone. This can cause swelling as a normal reaction of the jawbone. Just as our arm swells when we hit our legs somewhere, there may be swelling in the jawbone, it is normal.
Of course, the human body can develop reactions other than these, and even all of these items can be at the same time.
In such cases, you should definitely visit your dentists.
If you comply with these items, you can spend the time after extraction comfortably.
We wish everyone comfortable tooth extraction
