Other Post Dental Surgery Tips:
- AVOID alcohol, and hot beverages for the first 3 days
- DO NOT DRINK from a straw for at least a week – The sucking can dislodge the blood
that is clotting in the socket - DO NOT EAT foods that are spicy as this can irritate the gums
- DO NOT EAT acidic foods as this too can irritate the surgical site
- STAY AWAY FROM foods that will splinter or get stuck (crackers, nuts, chips, seeds) as
they can get stuck in the wound area and / or dislodge blood clots.4 - Do not try to dislodge any blood clots as this will prolong the healing process.
- NO SMOKING for at least 72 hours after tooth extraction as this can cause dry socket
