Following any dental
operative procedures it is best not to
spit, suck on straws, or smoke. Following
extraction, the patient should keep the
gauze that was placed on the extraction
site, in place for a minimum of ten minutes.
After this amount of time the gauze can
be removed if there is no more bleeding.
If bleeding continues, place more gauze
(or a tea bag if gauze is not available)
and check again in ten minutes. For the
first twenty -four hours post extraction,
nothing warm should be placed on the area,
as this can lead to swelling. Cold compresses
can be used to help minimize swelling.
After the first twenty-four hours, warm
compresses may be used.
If you have any questions please follow-up
with your dentist.
