Proper care after oral surgery
at Altoona Dental Clinic
Your mouth should be gently rinsed (not
vigorously) with warm salt water the day after oral surgery. Add ½
teaspoon salt to one-cup warm water. Be sure to rinse after eating to
keep food particles out of the extraction site.Brush your teeth twice
daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brushing your tongue is also
advised to eliminate bad breath and the unpleasant taste that often accompanies
oral surgery. Floss at least
once a day, too. Follow Dr. Hlas'
and Dr. Shirazi's
instructions carefully after dental surgery.
Contact Altoona Dental Clinic if:
- Numbness doesn't subside within a
few hours;
- You experience nausea or vomiting;
or
- You have severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or fever in the wisdom tooth extraction area.
