Baby Dental – Wisdom Teeth Extractions.
After removing wisdom or other teeth, you want to ensure you take proper care of the area to heal quickly. Make sure you follow the dentist’s aftercare instructions. The dentist will go over how to take care of your extraction sites.
However, here are a few Don’t: Do not rinse the area for at least twenty-four hours after removing the tooth. Keep your fingers and tongue away from the extraction site. Touching is tempting but can not heal if you are poking at it. Try to avoid eating and drinking until all numbing has worn off. You do not want to bite your mouth or tongue. Do not drink through straws because you want to avoid sucking. If you are a smoker, no smoking for at least a day or two. Since smoking can interfere with the healing process, and the sucking motion could dislodge the blood clot at the extraction site needed for recovery.
