With these tips as well as advice from your dentist, you can promote rapid healing, alleviate pain and minimise complications.

Key takeaways:

– During the first two days, do not rinse the site, spit vigorously, drink with straws or touch the clot (e.g. with your toothbrush).

– Good oral hygiene is necessary after having a tooth or teeth out, although your routine will differ slightly.

– Typically, your dentist may suggest antibiotics, avoiding alcohol and not smoking tobacco.

Some discomfort is common after extractions, usually for a week to ten days.
