After surgery care
People who get their tooth extracted should not eat hot food during the next 24 hours. Avoiding smoking and alcohol will also help. The patient should not try to move any clots that could have occurred within the gap. Rinsing the mouth should also be avoided during the first 24 hours, after which you can use a glass of warm salty water to gently rinse your mouth. After this you may maintain your regular oral hygiene on the unaffected areas of the mouth. Do not be alarmed in case you find small pieces of bone within the socket. This is absolutely normal. While pain killers can give you relief from pain, do not let the tablet to touch the area where the tooth has been extracted. If the pain is persistent even after few days have passed since the surgery, visit the dentist.
