After Tooth Extraction
Después de la extracción del diente, its important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. Thats why we ask you to bite on a gauze pad for 30-45 minutes after the appointment. Si el sangrado o supuración aún persiste, coloque otra gasa y muerda firmemente por otra 30 minutos. You may have to do this several times.
Blood clots that form in the empty socket.
Después de que se forma el coágulo de sangre, it is important not to disturb or dislodge the clot as it aids healing.
No enjuagar vigorosamente, chupar pajitas, fumar, drink alcohol or brush teeth next to the extraction site for 72 horas. Estas actividades desalojar o disolver el coágulo y retrasar el proceso de curación. Limite el ejercicio vigoroso para la siguiente 24 hours as this will increase blood pressure and may cause more bleeding from the extraction site.
Zócalo seco
Dry socket occurs when a blood clot fails to form in the socket where the tooth has been extracted or the clot has been dislodged, and the healing is significantly delayed.
Following the post extraction instructions will reduce the chances of developing dry socket. Dry sockets manifest themselves as a dull throbbing pain, which doesn’t appear until three or four days after the extraction. The pain can be moderate to severe and radiate from the extraction area. Dry socket may cause a bad taste or bad breath and the extraction site appears dry.
Dr.. Coviello o Dr.. Starley will apply a medicated dressing to the dry socket to sooth the pain.
Hinchazón
After the tooth is extracted you may feel some pain and experience some swelling. Una compresa de hielo o una bolsa sin abrir de guisantes congelados o maíz aplicada en el área mantendrá la hinchazón al mínimo.. Tome los medicamentos para el dolor según lo prescrito. La hinchazón generalmente desaparece después de 48 horas.
Dolor, Medications and Eating
Utilizar el medicamento para el dolor como se indica. Call the office if the medication doesnt seem to be working. Si se prescriben antibióticos., continue to take them for the indicated length of time, even if signs and symptoms of infection are gone. Drink lots of fluid and eat nutritious soft food on the day of the extraction. Puede comer normalmente tan pronto como se sienta cómodo..
Brushing and Cleaning
Es importante retomar su rutina dental normal después de 24 horas. This should include brushing and flossing your teeth at least once a day. Esto acelerará la curación y ayudará a mantener la boca fresca y limpia..
