What should I pay attention to after tooth extraction?

To speed up the healing process and prevent possible complications after tooth extraction, you can pay attention to the following suggestions:


  • Cold application: You can apply an ice pack or cold compress to reduce swelling for the first few hours.

  • Using painkillers: You can keep the pain under control by regularly using the painkillers recommended by your dentist.

  • Oral hygiene: Be careful not to touch the tooth extraction area. In line with your dentist's recommendation, you can use antiseptic mouthwash and be careful about brushing your teeth.

  • Soft foods: For the first few days, choose soft and cold foods to protect your mouth.

  • Avoiding smoking and alcohol use: Smoking and drinking alcohol after tooth extraction can delay the healing process and cause complications.

  • Consult a doctor: In any abnormal situation (intense bleeding, severe pain, swelling, etc.), you should immediately consult your dentist.
