Tooth extraction - any person goes through such an intervention at least once in a lifetime. Sometimes this is the only way to get rid of the pain that bothers and does not allow you to live in peace, although modern dentistry does everything possible to maintain the he alth of the tooth at any cost. It is removed, as a rule, in a dental clinic, for which surgical dental instruments are used. When removing, they try in no case to damage adjacent teeth and preserve their bone tissue.
What to do after tooth extraction? First, you need to know about the normal manifestations after such an operation. A slight increase in temperature, pain in the area of the extracted tooth, which gradually subsides, and does not increase and is removed with drugs, a slight swelling or even a hematoma in people for whom high blood pressure is the norm. These are all natural consequences of tooth extraction surgery.
So, what to do after tooth extraction? The doctor will put a cotton swab soaked in a hemostatic fluid into the wound. Within a few hours, the blood in the wound will clot, forming a clot, bleeding will stop, and the swab can be removed. In a dayoperations, as a rule, rinsing the mouth with special disinfecting solutions is not recommended so that the wound does not begin to bleed again. Soda solution or furatsilin is prescribed after complex removals - not earlier than in a day. At the same time, rinsing is carried out carefully, without excessive fanaticism, in order to avoid new bleeding. Often the patient calls the doctor and asks: “What should I do, after the extraction of a tooth, I can’t open my mouth well?” This happens, and especially often during the resection of complex, distant teeth, which include "eights".
The eighth tooth very often grows incorrectly. Due to its size, it simply does not have enough space in the dentition, and it tends to move into the region of either the cheek or tongue, and also often presses against the seventh tooth, creating a certain discomfort for the person. In addition, this tooth is purely physically difficult to clean, so it is often affected by caries. As a rule, the "eights" do not treat, but remove. Extraction of the eighth tooth is performed under local anesthesia, sometimes after the operation the doctor may apply stitches.
Also, complex procedures include the removal of an impacted tooth. This is the tooth that for some reason did not erupt or did it partially. Often this happens due to tightness in the tooth
bnom row, and also because of the excessively early removal of milk teeth. In any case, such teeth have a bad effect on growing nearby, create a certain discomfort for a person and purely visually change the dentition. Such teeth must be removed. Unfortunately, to get to the impactedtooth, you have to cut the gum, and the wound after this operation may bleed longer than usual. What to do after tooth extraction in this situation? First, it is important to listen to the doctor's recommendations and follow them exactly. Secondly, with such a removal, the doctor without fail prescribes antibiotics, which are selected individually. These drugs are mandatory, because the incisions in the gums, which are well supplied with blood, heal for a long time. With an open wound in the mouth, there is always a risk that leftover food will remain in it and begin to rot.
However, if the extraction of a tooth is the only possible solution, it is necessary to accept it and perform this operation. In any case, surviving a tooth extraction and the period after that is easier than unbearable toothache. And if you follow the doctor's recommendations, the wound will heal quickly and without problems.
