Tips to Speed up Wisdom Teeth Recovery Process
2
DID YOU KNOW? According to the American
Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons,
an estimated 85 of wisdom teeth will eventually
need to be removed.
3
Place gauze pad over the surgical area for half
an hour immediately following the surgery.
Moisten the gauze with tap water and loosely
fluff for more comfortable positioning. Avoid
rinsing your mouth vigorously or touching the
wound area.
4
Smoking increases the chances of dry socket and
retards healing. So, stop smoking during the
healing process. Maintain a proper oral hygiene
by brushing your teeth regularly twice a day, but
be gentle around the surgical sites. Begin salt
water rinses 24 hours after surgery.
5
Indulging in bending, lifting or other strenuous
activities may increase the chances of bleeding,
swelling and pain in the surgical area. Apply
an ice bag or a bag of frozen peas to the cheek
adjacent to the surgical area to reduce swelling.
6
Avoid extremely hot, spicy foods and other
eatables that cause discomfort. For the first
few days after surgery, avoid using straw to
drink fruit juices. Sip flat cola or ginger ale
often to limit post-operative nausea.
