1. Bite gauze.
After the tooth is removed, the doctor will place the gauze on the wound to stop the bleeding. Make sure you bite the gauze hard on the wound area to stop the bleeding. If massive bleeding persists, reset the gauze position to further cover the wound.
Do not talk, because this can loosen the screen and produce further bleeding.
If the screen is too wet, you can replace it. However, do not change more often than necessary and do not spit, because saliva can interfere with blood clots.
Do not disturb the tooth extraction area with the tongue or fingers. Also avoid blowing and sneezing for now. Strong pressure can cause the wound to bleed again.
Remove gauze after 30-45 minutes.
2. Consumption of pain medication. Use only medicines recommended by the dentist. If an oral surgeon has not prescribed painkillers, you can take the drug that is sold freely. Drink all the antibiotics given by him.
Immediate consumption of the first dose of painkillers before the anesthetic effect is reduced. Follow the dose instructions as prescribed.
3. Use an ice pack. Place an ice pack on the face, outside the tooth extraction area. An ice pack will reduce bleeding and control the swelling by wrinkling his blood vessels. Use an ice pack for 30 minutes, then release for 30 minutes. You can do this in the first 24 to 48 hours after tooth extraction. After 48 hours, the swelling will decrease and ice will no longer be able to relieve the pain.
You can use a sealed plastic bag filled with shaved ice or ice blocks if you do not have an ice pack.
4. Use a tea bag. Tea contains plant acid, which helps the formation of blood clots by contracting the vessels. Tea bags can reduce bleeding. If you continue to bleed an hour after tooth extraction, place a damp tea bag in the associated area and bite slowly to suppress it. Do it for about 20 to 30 minutes. You can also drink cold tea, but a tea bag placed on the wound area will give you better results.
5. Gargle with warm salt. Wait until the morning before doing so. You can prepare warm salt liquid by mixing one teaspoon of salt into 230 ml of water. Gargle slowly and gently, then spit the liquid out so as not to inhibit blood clotting. Repeat mouth rinse with this fluid four to five times daily for several days after tooth extraction, especially after meals and before bedtime.
6. Take frequent breaks. Adequate rest ensures your blood pressure is stable, so blood clots and gum healing will be helpful. Do not perform any physical activity for at least 24 hours after the tooth is lifted, and prop the head slightly while resting to ensure blood and / or saliva does not make choking.
Do not bow or lift heavy objects.
Sit always in an upright position.
7. Brush your teeth. After 24 hours, brush your teeth and tongue slowly, but do not rub near the tooth extraction area. Instead of doing so, gargle gently with salt (as described above) to avoid damage to blood clots. Follow this procedure for the next 3-4 days.
Yarn teeth and mouthwash (mouthwash) can also be used in your daily routine. Just make sure you do not use the yarn near the tooth extraction area. Use an antiseptic mouthwash that your dentist prescribes to help kill bacteria and prevent infection.
8. Use Chlorhexidine gel. This gel can be applied to areas that bleed to heal faster, in addition will help reduce pain and discomfort.
9. Use warm compresses after 24 to 48 hours. Warm compresses help improve blood circulation, thus speeding healing and reducing swelling and discomfort. Within 36 hours after the tooth is removed, use a warm, wet towel externally on the side of the sore face. Leave on for 20 minutes, then loose for 20 minutes as well.
10. Eat regularly and do not miss every session.
Choose soft / soft and rather cold foods, such as ice cream, smoothy, pudding, gelatin, yogurt, and soup. These foods are very good after tooth extraction because it can ease the discomfort caused by medical procedures. Make sure the food you eat is not too cold or hard, and you do not chew using a bloody area. Hard foods (eg cereals, beans, popcorn, etc.) can be difficult to eat and cause pain, so your wound can get back injured. Make a gradual transition from liquid to semisolid food, to solids after a few days.
Avoid straws. Consuming a drink with a straw creates a suction pressure inside the mouth, so bleeding can occur. Insert a drink or use a spoon to avoid these complications.
Avoid spicy foods, sticky, hot drinks, caffeine products, alcohol, and soft drinks.
Avoid cigarettes / alcohol for at least 24 hours after the tooth is removed.
