After Your Tooth Extraction
In order to ensure your smile stays healthy, we’ll review helpful post-op instructions for you to follow. Taking proper care of your mouth after extraction can improve healing time and reduce the risk of a dry socket. When a tooth is extracted it leaves behind an empty space in the bone where the tooth root used to be. A protective blood clot will naturally form in this space as part of your healing process. A dry socket occurs when this clot is dislodged leaving the bone and nerves open to exposure and causing pain. We’ll review in detail how to easily avoid dry socket including refraining from vigorous activities for the first few days after your surgery and passing on the straws. We’ll also recommend rinsing your mouth with warm salt water to sanitize the treatment site. With minimally invasive surgical techniques, relaxing sedation solutions, and detailed aftercare, we’d love to help you comfortably remove problem teeth and restore complete health!
