A. Pressure the gauze on the child’s extracted tooth socket for 1 hour. B. The child should avoid spitting or sucking the extracted tooth’s socket for up to 12 hours after extraction. C. Avoid eating and drinking for 2 hours, then consume liquids and soft and cool foods for 24 hours. Make sure not to use straws when drinking. There are no food restrictions after 24 hours. D. Do not rinse your mouth with water or any mouthwash for up to 12 hours after tooth extraction. Older children can toothbrush and rinse with a mouthwash prescribed by the dentist and repeat this 2 to 3 times a day for 1 week. E. 24 hours after tooth extraction, children above 6 should rinse the area with a syringe (10 or 20 cc) containing lukewarm saline to prevent food buildup after each meal. F. Some plasma leakage from the extracted tooth is normal for 1-2 days and does not necessitate a visit to the dentist. Place a piece of damp sterile gauze or a wet tea bag on the tooth socket in case of bleeding at home and gently shut the mouth (for at least 2 hours) and use a cold compress (ice bag) externally. G. If the bleeding is severe and uncontrollable, go to the clinic and avoid placing medicines and other substances on the socket. H. Medicines Make sure to give your child the prescribed medicine and contact your clinic or dentist in case of inflammation or infection. I. Very Important: Make sure not to bite the lips, cheeks, or tongue due to the long period of anesthesia (several hours) of the soft tissue around the tooth. The biting may occur when the child eats. There is a bitter taste in the mouth for a few days after tooth extraction as well as a bad odor, which is normal and not a symptom of infection. J. Very Important: See your dentist 3 to 4 days after tooth extraction if your child has pains that are not relieved with sedatives. Taking lots of antibiotics on your own is not beneficial. K. Very Important: White patches may appear on the extracted tooth’s socket after extraction, which are not necessarily left from the tooth but may actually be the child’s jawbone. In this case, it is advisable to visit a clinic. L. After extracting a mandibular tooth, if the child suffers from jawbone pain while opening and closing the jaw, the jaw should be repeatedly opened and close fully to be relieved of pain. Tolerating this condition will intensify the pain. If you are unable to open and close your jaw due to severe pain, visit a clinic. M. Additional physical activity should be avoided for 24 hours of extraction (such as sports and heavy lifting). N. If the tooth socket is dressed, schedule a visit a week later for its removal. O. Do not leave town for several days after tooth extraction, and consult with your dentist if you have to.
