Precautions After Tooth Extraction 

Dr. Ahmed Javed Butt 




Here are some general precautions to follow after having a tooth extracted:

  1. Bite gently on the gauze pad placed by your dentist to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding persists, moisten the tea bag and place it over the bleeding area. The tannic acid in the tea helps to form a blood clot.

  2. Avoid rinsing your mouth vigorously or spitting for the first 24 hours after the extraction. This can disturb the blood clot and cause bleeding.

  3. Avoid smoking, which can slow the healing process.

  4. Avoid hot liquids or food and drink cold fluids for the first day.

  5. Avoid drinking through a straw for the first few days, as the sucking motion can dislodge the blood clot.

  6. Avoid strenuous activity for the first day or two after the extraction.

  7. Take any prescribed medication as directed.

  8. If you have swelling, apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek for the first 36 hours. After 36 hours, use warm, moist heat to help with swelling.

  9. Use over-the-counter pain medication as needed for discomfort.

  10. Contact your dentist if you have persistent bleeding, severe pain, or other unusual symptoms

Benefits of Drinking Clove Water at Night Clove is a common spice used in our kitchens. There was a time when clove seeds were considered more valuable than gold. If you drink clove tea at night, it can be beneficial in several ways. It helps with digestion, improves sleep quality, and strengthens the immune system. Historically, clove was once exchanged for gold and has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years. In early dentistry, before anesthetics were available, clove oil was used to numb teeth due to its analgesic effects, making it helpful for dental surgeries—just like modern dentists use lidocaine today. You can apply clove oil to your gums if you have a cavity or exposed nerve, as it helps numb the area. Health Benefits of Clove One of the best things about cloves is that they have almost no side effects and contain antibacterial, antifungal, anti-candida, and antiviral properties. When applied to teeth, they not only numb the area but also fight bacteria...
