After your extraction, Dr. Divya Nagaraj DDS will give you detailed aftercare instructions to ensure that you recover as quickly and safely as possible. In the days following your recovery, you’ll want to make sure that you’re keeping the extraction site clean by using an antibacterial mouthwash 2-3 times a day and taking all pain medications as directed. You’ll want to avoid brushing directly over the extraction site or drinking using a straw, as these objects can irritate and potentially harm the area. You’ll also want to avoid hard and crunchy foods, as well as strenuous or high-impact activities for at least 2-3 days following your procedure.
