Post Extraction Instructions
The following
guidelines will help ensure the quickest healing time for patients who have had
teeth extracted.
The gauze on which you
are biting should be removed one hour after surgery.If there is no bleeding, the packs should
not be replaced. If any of the surgery areas continue to ooze, fold one
of the pieces of gauze we gave you into quarters, moisten it and place it
directly over the oozing sites for an additional thirty minutes. Remove
and discard the gauze, repeating as many times as needed until the oozing
stops. It is not unusual to ooze slightly up to 48 hours. Place an old
towel over your pillowcase to prevent stains.
Minimize swelling with
ice and elevation. As
soon as you arrive home and are settled comfortably, apply ice packs to the
outside of your cheek over the extraction area and keep them in place as much
as possible for the initial 24 hours after surgery. Ice cubes in a baggie
or a dishtowel or gel packs from any pharmacy will work fine. It is also
helpful to elevate the head slightly higher than the heart.
Resume eating and
drinking with caution. Once
the gauze packs have been removed it is fine to eat and drink. The food
shoulder be very soft, requiring very little chewing (yogurt, pudding,
scrambled eggs) and the beverages should not be carbonated (fruit juice,
water). Do not eat or drink anything extremely hot until the numbness is
completely gone so as not to burn your lip or tongue. Frequently a long
lasting anesthetic is used for oral surgery, so it is not unusual for the
numbness to remain up to twelve hours.
Do not rinse, spit, smoke
or drink through a straw for the first 24 hours!! This is to help avoid dislodging the blood
clots that form in the extraction sites. If the blood clot is dislodged a
painful dry socket can occur.
Pain medication: as prescribed by the docters
Saline rinses: After the first 24 hours you may begin
using warm saline (salt water) rinses 3 or 4 times a day for 7-10 days (1/4
tsp. salt in a 6 or 8 oz. glass of warm water). This will help keep the
surgery areas clean and aid in healing. Brush the rest of your teeth
normally, avoiding the areas that are tender.
Stitches: you will need to return to the clinic 7-10
days after surgery to have them removed
