Getting ready to have your wisdom teeth taken out? C.R. Sfeir D.D.S., General Dentistry is here to help. Specializing in comprehensive oral care, these teeth experts know the ins and outs of wisdom teeth extraction, from prepping for surgery to protecting your mouth afterward. For good oral health following wisdom tooth extraction, follow these tips from C.R. Sfeir D.D.S., General Dentistry:

  • Sit Up: Once you get home, prop up in bed using a pillow—lying flat will prolong bleeding and delay healing.
  • Relax: To decrease bleeding and protect your mouth from harm, kick back and take advantage of your time off from work or school.
  • Change Your Gauze: As your gauze pads become soaked with blood, change them. Call your family dentist or oral surgeon if you experience excessive bleeding.
  • Do A Saltwater Rinse: If your mouth is in pain, rinse it out with warm salt water; this will help reduce swelling, too.
  • Avoid Smoking: Smoking cigarettes can not only loosen the blood clot, but it can also introduce contaminants to your healing gums.
  • Eat Soft Food: Stay away from solid foods that could exacerbate your open wound; instead, stick to a strict liquid diet.
