3. DO'S AND DONT'S AFTER
TOOTH REMOVAL

4. WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TOOTH
REMOVAL
In most cases, the recovery
period lasts only a few days.
Take painkillers as prescribed
by your dentist or oral surgeon.

5. THE FOLLOWING TIPS WILL HELP SPEED
YOUR RECOVERY.
 1. Bite gently on the gauze pad for an hour after
tooth removal. Call your dentist or oral surgeon if
you still have bleeding 24 hours after your
surgery.
 2. While your mouth is numb, be careful not to
bite the inside of your cheek or lip, or your
tongue.
 3. Do not lie flat. Raise your head with support of
pillows while lying down.
 4. Try using an ice pack on the outside of your
cheek for the first 24 hours.

6. 5. Relax for a day. Physical activity
may increase bleeding.
6. Eat soft foods, and soup.
Gradually add solid foods to your
diet as healing progresses i.e after 5
days
7. Do not use a straw for the first few
days. Sucking on a straw can loosen
the blood clot and delay healing.

7.  Do not smoke for at least 24 hours after your
surgery. The sucking motion can loosen the clot
and delay healing. Also, smoking decreases the
blood supply and can bring germs and
contaminants to the surgery area.
 Avoid rubbing the area with your tongue or
touching it with your fingers.
 Continue to brush your teeth and tongue
carefully.
 Your dentist will remove the stitches after a few
days, if there is any.
