What to Expect From a Tooth Extraction
When you come in for your extraction, we’ll provide you with more detailed instructions for taking care of the site for optimal healing. However, here are some general tips to help you recover without complication or infection:
- Keep gauze on the site for several hours after the procedure, switching out for a clean dressing as needed.
- Use a cold compress in 10-minute increments to reduce swelling.
- Allow a blood clot to form on the site to protect the vulnerable nerves underneath.
- Eat softer foods for several days and then gradually build back up to your normal diet.
- Avoid using a straw because the sucking motion can dislodge the clot and cause an infection called dry socket.
