After an extraction, proper recovery plays a major role in avoiding discomfort and speeding up healing. The first 24 to 48 hours are crucial for clot formation, which protects the exposed socket. Patients are usually advised to bite down on gauze, avoid rinsing vigorously, and rest with their head elevated. Straws, smoking, and hot foods should be avoided to prevent dry socket, a painful condition that can delay healing. Soft foods, cold compresses, and prescribed medications help reduce swelling and pain during this period. Keeping the area clean, without disturbing the site, is important to avoid infection. After a few days, gentle saltwater rinses can be used to promote healing. If any signs of prolonged pain, swelling, or bleeding occur, it’s best to contact your dentist immediately. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest can also speed up recovery. Avoiding intense physical activity is recommended for at least a couple of days. Your body needs energy to heal, so give it time to do just that. Recover faster and more comfortably after tooth extraction in Ranjeet Nagar with post-care guidance from Dr. Ridhima.
