Care after tooth extraction

 Pressure

One of the most important factors in care after dental surgery is controlled pressure in the area involved.

To control bleeding, a small sterile gauze will be left at the site of the intervention to create pressure on the area and to stop the bleeding while you reach the clotting point. It is recommended to keep it at least 30 minutes, after that you can remove the gauze.

Make sure you bite the gauze with a slight pressure. If bleeding continues after 30 minutes, change the gauze and repeat the procedure.  Don't talk, as you could loosen the gauze and cause even more bleeding and delay clot formation.

Manipulation

Do not touch the extraction area with your tongue or fingers, and avoid ringing your nose and sneezing during this time. Increasing pressure can cause the wound to bleed again. Avoid placing your hand over the extraction area to avoid heating it.

Cold

To reduce inflammation it is normal that after surgery your face may become inflamed for some time. Put an ice pack on your face outside the extraction area. The ice compress reduces bleeding and controls inflammation by constricting the blood vessels.

Use an ice pack for 10 to 20 minutes and then rest without it for another 30 minutes.  Wrap it in a towel or cloth instead of placing it directly on the skin; as you might cause a burn. You can use a plastic bag with a closure, filled with crushed ice or ice cubes, if you don't have an ice pack.

It should be done during the first 24 after extraction.

Avoid putting your hand or any object such as a towel, handkerchief, or apron over the extraction area, as this will generate heat, which can cause inflammation.

Proper rest ensures stable blood pressure, which helps the clot form and cure the gum. Try to sleep supported on two pillows and avoid doing so on the extraction side. Lift your head slightly while resting to ensure that blood or saliva does not constitute a risk of asphyxiation.

Tabaco / Alcohol

Avoid tobacco or alcohol for at least 24 hours after extraction. Patients who chew tobacco should not do so for at least seven days. It is recommended that after surgery you avoid cigarettes because smoke delays the healing process and can cause infections. In addition, the physical act of smoking can cause the clots to break, which are necessary for the healing of the gums.

You should keep in mind that during the healing process an epithelial cell layer (a whitish layer) is formed. Over the next 10 days gum cells will proliferate to form a layer of epithelium; it will close the gap that formed after tooth extraction or surgery. It is important that the wound healing process is not interrupted. You must not remove it, and you must not confuse it with dirt or infection.
