After Tooth Extraction Donts.
What not to do after having a tooth remove is just as important as the dos. Make sure that you are taking care of your dental health by not doing these things after having a tooth pulled.
* Avoid hot food and drink for at least twenty-four hours. You do not want to burn or irritate the extraction site.
* Do not rinse your mouth for twenty-four hours after the tooth removal.
* Keep your fingers and tongue away from the extraction area.
* NO smoking for as long as possible afterward but at the very least twenty-four hours after having the extraction. Smoking can interfere with the healing process and also dislodge the blood clot.
* Avoid sucking though straws and stuff, no spitting and unless you have to avoid blowing your nose. These actions can dislodge the blood clot.
* No alcohol for twenty-four hours as it also can delay the healing process.
