our dentist or Oral Surgeon will advise of best care after wisdom teeth removal. Typically, you will be advised to:
protect the area where the tooth has been removed and avoid touching it with your tongue or hands
avoid hot drinks or hot food for 24 hours, as this may cause the wound to bleed
avoid rinsing your mouth and swishing water or mouthwash for 24 hours as this may dislodge the blood clot in the tooth socket and cause further complications
if you experience bleeding, apply gentle pressure on the site with a clean gauze pack
do not smoke for 2-3 days after the procedure and avoid drinking alcohol as this can cause serious complications and delay healing
