Pulling out a tooth is too painful. If you don't pull it out, it will lead to toothache, so you can only take measures to pull out one tooth. When pulling teeth, there are many taboos in the diet. At this time, oral hygiene needs great attention, which is easy to cause infection and bleeding. What are the precautions after tooth extraction? Let's have a look.

Matters needing attention after tooth extraction

1, just after tooth extraction, the patient should bite a cotton ball immediately, but not all the time. He will wait for about 40 minutes to spit it out, because biting for too long will lead to saliva immersion and the wound will have symptoms of coagulation infection.

You can't eat any food within two hours after tooth extraction, and you can't lick the wound with your tongue to avoid bleeding and infection.

3, hot food should also be forbidden to eat, because the temperature of food is too high, it will cause wounds to burn, and then blood vessels will expand, so it is best to eat some liquid food and soft food on the day of tooth extraction, and avoid chewing on the side of tooth extraction when chewing food. Generally, it takes a week to chew with the side of tooth extraction.

4. Don't talk after tooth extraction, and don't brush your teeth and rinse your mouth. Wait until the next day to brush your teeth, and avoid spitting for a week, so as not to affect the healing speed of the wound.

5. After the tooth is pulled out, it is best not to touch alcohol and tobacco again, and don't do strenuous exercise, which will affect wound healing.

6. Sleeping on your side is good for wound healing.

As can be seen from the above, there are many things to pay attention to after tooth extraction. If you don't pay attention, it will only affect the recovery of tooth wounds.
