Proper care after wisdom tooth removal at Chantilly Green Dental Care
 Your mouth should be gently rinsed (not
vigorously) with warm salt water the day after oral surgery. Add ½
teaspoon salt to one-cup warm water. Be sure to rinse after eating to
keep food particles out of the extraction site.
Brush your teeth twice
daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brushing your tongue is also
advised to eliminate bad breath and the unpleasant taste that often accompanies
oral surgery. Floss at least
once a day, too.
Follow Dr. Pham's
instructions carefully after dental surgery.
Contact Chantilly Green Dental Care
if:
- Numbness doesn't subside within a
few hours;
- You experience nausea or vomiting;
or
- You have severe pain, swelling,
bleeding, or fever in the
wisdom tooth extraction area.
