Had a tooth extraction or minor oral surgery? Stop making these recovery mistakes that slow down healing.
Proper post-operative care is crucial for smooth healing after an extraction or minor oral surgery. Here is what to avoid during the first 24 to 48 hours:
1. Spitting vigorously or using straws: Suction can dislodge the healing blood clot.
2. Consuming hot or spicy food: Opt for soft, cool, or room-temperature meals instead.
3. Forceful mouth rinsing: Gentle salt water rinses should only begin after 24 hours as advised.
