One very important part of the body is the tooth. It can lead to serious problems when it gets hurt physically or falls apart. One of the most important things that dental specialists do is take out teeth. Regardless, so many people have been saved from the unbearable pain of aching teeth because of this service. However, after undergoing a tooth extraction in Coogee, you should avoid some things. This will speed up your recovery.
Here's a list of things you shouldn't do:
Do NOT: Touch the sutures
Your mouth is sensitive to changes so you may run your tongue over the area a lot after wisdom teeth removal. Even though it's tempting to poke and prod the area with your tongue or fingers, doing so can slow the healing process or even cause dry sockets, which are rare but very painful. Try your best not to change the area. If pieces of food get stuck in the stitches, you can remove them by gently rinsing them with a saline solution. When you brush and floss, avoid the area until it has healed.
Do Not Smoke Or Drink Alcohol.
Don't smoke or drink alcohol for at least 24 hours after your procedure, but the longer you wait, the better. Both alcohol and tobacco make it harder for your mouth to heal on its own, and alcohol can interfere dangerously with painkillers that your dentist may have given you. Try to use the time you spend getting your tooth pulled as a chance to quit smoking for good.
Do Not Eat Hard Or Crunchy Foods.
You should eat soft and easy-to-chew foods for the first few days after teeth extraction. You will be less likely to hurt the extraction site or get food stuck in the wound if you eat soft foods like pasta, smoothies, yoghurt, soup, eggs, or potatoes. After three or four days, you can start eating solid foods if you feel well enough.
Do Not Use Straws
Straws are not a good idea, but soft foods are. When you drink through a straw, you create suction, which can move your blood clot and slow your healing. After your surgery, eat all soft foods with a spoon for at least a week.
Do Not Push Yourself Too Hard.
Take it easy so that your body can put its energy into getting better. Keep your body from doing too much, like running, lifting heavy things, or bending over. All of these things have a chance of hurting or moving your blood clot.
Do Not Move the Clot
Even though it might feel strange to be missing a tooth, you should not poke around the area where the tooth was pulled out with your tongue or anything else. If you think something is wrong, you should call your dentist right away and have them look at the area carefully.
If you're getting wisdom teeth removal in Coogee, make sure to read your dentist's recovery instructions carefully before the procedure and ask our team any questions you may have. About a week after the teeth extraction, we may or may not set up a follow-up appointment to check on the extraction site and, if necessary, take out the stitches.
