WHAT CARE SHOULD BE DONE AFTER YOUR TOOTH IS EXTRACTED?
After tooth extraction in Turkey, a specialist in oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to patients, especially for the first 24 hours, where pain or bleeding can be prevented with careful care and proper nutrition.
Turkey Medicals member and Antalya Medical center dentist gave us information about what should be considered after a tooth extraction in Turkey as follows;
It is very easy to pull out teeth that have lost bone support, rocking, and the patient has a comfortable recovery period, while shooting of curved or thick rooted, inflamed or buried teeth becomes a little more difficult, and recovery may be slow.
Some uncontrolled systemic diseases, such as diabetes, can also disrupt wound healing in the patient. However, painstaking care of the patient after tooth extraction will minimize discomfort after the procedure.
Gauze placed on the shooting wound should be firmly bitten for half an hour. In this way, the bleeding will be stopped. However, it is considered normal for bleeding to last 6 to 24 hours in case of a slight leak. However, if there is excessive bleeding or if this period is exceeded, it is necessary to consult a dentist.
On the first day after shooting, the head should be lying high. This, in turn, helps prevent bleeding. In no way should the shooting site be touched, the wound area should not be absorbed and spat out. The gravitational gap with the language should not be tampered with. On the first day, the surgical site should not be touched, the mouth should not be shaken.
Chewing should not be done for 24 hours with the side of the shot. After shooting, something should not be eaten for two to three hours, after this time has expired, warm things should be preferred, very hot, cold and acidic foods should be avoided.
Eating without drowsiness can lead to bite and injury to the cheek or lip without noticing. No smoking for 48 hours. Smoking can cause the clot to deteriorate and the wound site to become inflamed. This condition causes pain for a long time. Alcohol should not be taken for 24 hours.
On the first day, the swelling can be eased by applying ice from outside. Ice application should be applied to the treated area for 5 minutes and rest for 5 minutes. The application of ICE should be continued until you sleep at night, and there is no need to continue the application the next day.
If there is pain, a drug other than aspirin should be preferred, if possible, consult a doctor for this. After the shooting, the patient is prescribed by the Turkish doctor, the patient should use these medications as recommended by his doctor.
Food residue in the wound should be prevented. For the first 3-4 days, it should be avoided to eat granular Turkish foods such as rice, sesame. 24 hours after shooting, the area can be gently brushed with a soft toothbrush.
Although all kinds of warnings are paid attention, patients should consult their doctors without wasting time when conditions such as prolonged or sudden unexpected swelling, bleeding, pain develop.
