After you have undergone a wisdom tooth extraction there are certain measures you have to take to ensure a successful - fast and thorough- healing of your mouth.
Do’s
- Keep the lint mildly tight in your mouth during 30 minutes
- Apply an ice bag on your swollen cheek for 20 minutes, making some pauses if it feels too cold for you during the first day, maximum two.
- Soft and liquid diet, and chew from the opposite side at least for the first 3 days.
- Sleep with two pillows
- Brush your teeth with a soft-bristle brush, trying not to reach the affected area. You can use lint or a piece of wool
- In case you bleed more than normal, pout a new dry lint in your mouth and keep it softly chewed
- If there is any complication do not hesitate in calling your dentist
- Do not make any physical effort. No exercises, no computer work, no reading in uncomfortable positions, and do not bend. Just relax
- Do not suck or inhale, do not make gargles or apply mouth wash
- Do not drink hot drinks during the first 24 hours
- Do not smoke or drink alcohol
- Do not chew gum
