Post-procedure insights
What To Expect After Wisdom Tooth Removal
Following wisdom tooth removal, adopt proper post-operative care practices to optimize healing and minimize discomfort. Maintain good oral hygiene by gently brushing and flossing around the extraction site, being careful to avoid direct contact with the surgical area.
Avoid strenuous activities, smoking, and consuming hard or crunchy foods that could irritate the extraction site. Take any prescribed pain medications and antibiotics as directed by your dentist to manage pain and prevent infection.
Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress and address any concerns. As healing progresses, gradually reintroduce normal eating habits and activities, but continue to be mindful of the extraction site until fully healed.
By following these post-operative care instructions diligently, you can ensure a smooth recovery process and minimize the risk of complications, allowing you to enjoy improved oral health and comfort in the long term.
