POSTOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
You’ve just had a tooth extracted. We hope to avoid any concern on your part
regarding the next several hours by giving you the following information. Should
anything occur that seems out of the normal, please give us a call.
Instructions:
* DO NOT DISTURB THE WOUND: In doing so you may invite irritation, infection
and/or bleeding. Be sure to chew on the opposite side for 24 hours and keep
anything sharp from entering the wound (i.e. eating utensils etc..)
* MOUTH WASH: Avoid all rinsing for 24 hours after extraction. This is to insure
the formation of a healing blood clot which is essential to proper wound healing.
Disturbance of this clot can lead to increased bleeding. You may use warm salt
water or mild antiseptic rinses after 24 hours only if prescribed.
* EXCESSIVE BLEEDING: When you leave the office, you will be given verbal
instructions regarding the control of postoperative bleeding. A rolled up gauze pad
will be placed on the extraction site and you will be asked to change this dressing
every 20 minutes or so depending on the amount of bleeding that is occurring. We
will also give you a package of gauze to take with you to use at home if the
bleeding should continue. Should you need to use the gauze at home, remember to
roll it into a ball large enough to cover the wound. Hold firmly in place, with finger
pressure, for about 20-30 minutes. If bleeding still continues, you may fold a tea
bag in half and bite down on it. Tea contains Tannic Acid, a styptic, which may
help to reduce the bleeding. If bleeding still continues, call for further instructions.
* PAIN: Analgesic tablets (i.e. Aspirin, Tylenol etc.) may be taken under my
directions. Prescription medication, which may have been given to you, should also
be taken as directed. If pain continues, please give us a call.
* SWELLING: To prevent swelling, apply ice or a cold towel to the outside of
your face in the area of the extraction. Apply alternately, 20 minutes on then 20
minutes off, for an hour or longer if necessary.
If any additional questions should arise after your visit, please do not hesitate to
call us. 972-503-7979. Instructions will be provided for emergency contact number
should such an instance occur.
