Post Extraction
Unlocking the Power of Natural Healing for Your Smile
Wisdom teeth removal in Bangalore
Like any other surgery, tooth extraction is also followed by pain, inflammation, bruising, bleeding, and infection. The experienced doctors recommend using PRF (a semi-solid form of PRP) to get rid of these negative effects in a shorter time. Filling the gap in the jaw with PRF post-extraction not only helps in faster recovery of the patient from pain, swelling and inflammation but induces osteogenesis (generation of bone) preventing Osteonecrosis (death of the bone underneath the tooth due to damage to the blood vessels). It also prevents the premature dislodging of a blood clot in the gap where the tooth previously sat. Such premature dislodging may lead to a condition known as dry socket (Alveolar osteitis) which in turn leads to more pain and other effects in the surgical area. By the use of PRF, we can completely avoid all these issues.
After a wisdom teeth extraction, the experienced dentists at The Image Clinic recommend on the day of your surgery that you:
- Restrict your activities.
- Avoid touching the wound area.
- Do not vigorously rinse your mouth.
- Apply ice to your cheeks outside the surgery site.
- Remove the gauze surgical pad 30 minutes after your surgery.
- Take the prescribed pain medications as soon as you begin to feel discomfort.
Here are some additional wisdom teeth removal aftercare instructions which can make your recovery more comfortable.
Bleeding
Slight bleeding, oozing or redness in the saliva is not uncommon. Excessive bleeding may be controlled placing a gauze pad over the surgical area and biting firmly for 30 minutes.
If bleeding continues, bite on a moistened tea bag for another 30 minutes. The tannic acid in the tea bag helps form a clot by contracting bleeding vessels. You can also minimize bleeding by staying calm, sitting upright and avoiding exercise. If bleeding continues, call our office at 08792036555
Pain
If you have moderate pain, take Tylenol, Extra Strength Tylenol or ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) every three to four hours. For severe pain, take your prescribed pain medication as directed. Stop taking them if you develop a rash or experience other side effects. Pain meds can make you dizzy so be sure to stand up gradually.
Pain or discomfort following surgery should lessen each day. If pain persists, please call our office at 08792036555
Nausea
In the event of nausea and/or vomiting, do not take anything by mouth for at least an hour after surgery. Then sip slowly on coke, tea or ginger ale. Once the nausea subsides, you can start taking the prescribed medicine.
Swelling/discoloration
You may experience swelling around the mouth, cheeks, eyes and sides of the face. This is the body’s normal reaction to surgery and eventual repair. Swelling will not appear until the day after surgery and will not reach its maximum until two to three days following surgery.
Apply ice to help with swelling. Thirty-six hours following surgery, switch to moist heat. In some cases, black, blue, green or yellow discoloration occurs due to blood spreading beneath the tissues—this is a normal and moist heat helps.
Diet
Drink plenty of liquids—at least five to six glasses daily. Do not use straws because the sucking motion can dislodge the blood clot around the surgical site. We recommend eating soft foods that are high in calorie and protein. Try not to miss a meal. You will feel better, have more strength, less discomfort and heal faster if you continue to eat.
Oral hygiene
You can brush your teeth the night of surgery, but rinse gently and be careful around the surgery site. The day after wisdom teeth removal surgery, you should begin rinsing at least five to six times a day, especially after meals. We suggest keeping your mouth clean with salt water rinses or a toothbrush.
Stitches/dry socket
Wisdom teeth removal in Hebbal
Wisdom teeth stitches help minimize bleeding and promote wisdom teeth healing. Sometimes the stitches may become dislodged—do not be concerned, simply discard them. The stitches will be removed about one week after surgery.
Wisdom teeth dry socket is when the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely from the tooth socket. Pain at the surgical site and even ear pain may occur in two to three days. Call the office if this occurs.
