Precautions and taboos after tooth extraction What is tooth extraction?
Precautions for diet after tooth extraction: \x0d\ There is no pain in the early stage after tooth extraction. Because of preoperative anesthesia before tooth extraction, its effect gradually failed in about 3 hours. At this time, the wound left after tooth extraction began to swell, but there was no pain, just feeling uncomfortable. Generally, after tooth extraction, the dentist will let the patient bite a piece of gauze, and he can vomit 15 minutes after tooth extraction. Some patients may find it difficult, because anesthesia will numb local nerves, including the nerves that control the tongue, so when spitting out gauze, just put your mouth down and gently pull the gauze out with your tongue. \x0d\ There will be a lot of saliva after tooth extraction, but don't spit it out. Be sure to swallow it. Because spitting water will lead to wound bleeding and slow down wound healing. Don't drink hot water for two or three days after tooth extraction. Cold water is more suitable, because hot water will promote the blood circulation of the wound, which is not conducive to the healing of the wound and the formation of bone tissue. Cold boiled water can slow down the blood flow in the wound area and make the wound heal better. \x0d\ You can talk after tooth extraction, but talk as little as possible. The diet is mainly liquid food, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and don't eat food that needs chewing. Of course, it would be much better if only one tooth was pulled out. Pay attention to oral hygiene and rinse your mouth with mouthwash after meals. Brush your teeth often and don't eat hard food, otherwise it may cause secondary trauma to the wound, which is not worth the loss. \x0d\ The stitches are removed seven days after tooth extraction, but patients should also pay attention to the usual health care after the stitches are removed. Generally, it can be recovered in about half a month, and it takes about two or three months to fully recover (that is, all bone tissues are formed). The patient must follow the doctor's advice. Because the oral cavity belongs to an unclean environment, we must pay attention to oral hygiene to avoid wound infection.
