What to Do after a Tooth Extraction?
By Minh Nguyen
After an extraction, it's important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. That's why your dentist will ask you to bite on a gauze pad for 30 to 45 minutes after an extraction.

If you're a smoker, you have probably heard this advice many times before. Perhaps knowing why we are giving the advice can help you follow through. It is true that smoking contributes to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and various cancers, but we want you to know about the negative impact that smoking has on healing, particularly in terms of dental treatment. Tobacco and tobacco smoke, even second-hand smoke, can really interfere with the tightly organized process that tissues go through during the healing process. |
