After undergoing wisdom teeth removal, proper aftercare is crucial to ensure a smooth recovery and minimize any potential complications. Here are some essential guidelines and tips to follow during the post-operative period:

‍

Post-Operative Care Instructions:

‍

• Gauze Placement: Gently bite down on the provided gauze pads after the surgery to control bleeding and help form clots.
• Oral Hygiene: Maintain oral hygiene by carefully brushing your teeth, avoid the surgical sites for the first 24 hours. Following meals, rinse your mouth with a mild saline solution to keep the area clean.
• Swelling and Ice Packs: During the first 24 to 48 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort, apply ice packs to the affected areas for 20 minutes on, followed by 20 minutes off.
• Rest and Elevation: Get plenty of rest and keep your head elevated with pillows during sleep to reduce swelling.

‍

Diet and Nutrition:

‍

• Soft Foods: Stick to a diet of soft foods during the initial recovery days, including items like soups, yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and eggs.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid any hard, crunchy, or spicy foods as this could irritate the surgical sites.
• Drinking: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, but avoid using straws. Sucking a straw can dislodge blood clots and hinder the healing process.
• Medications: Take prescribed pain medications and antibiotics as directed by your dentist to manage pain and prevent infection.

By following these aftercare instructions, you can promote healing and ensure a successful recovery after wisdom teeth removal. Remember to attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your dentist to monitor your progress and address any concerns that may arise.
