ADVICE AFTER EXTRACTIONS

  •  Do not drink anything alcoholic for several hours.

  •  Avoid strenuous exercise.

  •  Do not rinse for the next twelve hours.

  •  Do not eat or drink anything very hot or cold.

 

IF EXCESSIVE BLEEDING OCCURS

  •  Carry  out the instructions above making certain to avoid severe  rinsing  which  will prevent blood  clotting in the socket.

  •  Use  a clean cotton handkerchief, roll into a tight firm pad.

  •  Place  the pad across the bleeding socket and bite firmly for ten to fifteen minutes.

  •  Inspect the socket and replace with another one if bleeding still occurs from the socket after fifteen minutes.

  •  If your efforts are unsuccessful after an hour or two, contact your dentist.
