Precautions for women before tooth extraction

When our front teeth have cavities, it is very painful and we will first think of pulling out the front teeth. However, we cannot blindly pull out teeth. We need to pay attention to some matters when doing tooth extraction, so that our front teeth can be better restored. So here are the common problems for women before and after tooth extraction.

Common questions before tooth extraction for women

Before tooth extraction, you should be careful not to drink alcohol, stay up late, and avoid fever and colds. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, platelet abnormalities and other conditions, tell your doctor in advance and try to go to a tertiary hospital for tooth extraction.

Common problems for women after tooth extraction

On the day of tooth extraction, do not rinse your mouth vigorously to avoid washing away the newly formed blood clots and causing bleeding. Also, be careful not to suck hard or spit frequently, otherwise the air pressure in the mouth will increase, which can cause the contracted small blood vessels to rupture and cause bleeding.

Eat 2 hours after tooth extraction and do not swallow with the side on which the tooth was extracted. Generally, semi-liquid or liquid food is appropriate. Rinse your mouth gently after meals to avoid contamination of the wound environment and infection. There is no need to lick the wound with your tongue after tooth extraction, and you must not touch it hard. Some patients feel a sharp protrusion after tooth extraction. This may be the edge of the alveolar socket. If you are worried and think it is the gum, go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. Never pick it with your fingers or dirt to avoid infection.

It is normal to have dark red blood in the saliva within 24 hours after tooth extraction. If the wound bleeds continuously after tooth extraction, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

There may be mild pain in the wound 1 to 2 days after tooth extraction, which is normal. For some patients with severe pain, sedatives and analgesics may be considered as appropriate.

Tooth extraction is generally not prone to infection, because the oral and maxillofacial regions are rich in blood vessels and have strong anti-infection capabilities, and generally do not require the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. If you extract an impacted tooth, a buried tooth, or an inflamed front tooth, you should give anti-inflammatory drugs for 2 to 3 days to prevent infection.

The above are the things that women should pay special attention to before and after tooth extraction in order to avoid problems with our front teeth. In daily life, we should brush our teeth more often, maintain a stable brushing habit, avoid eating too cold food directly to avoid irritation to the front teeth, and try not to eat too sweet food at night. As long as we pay attention to these things in daily life, we can protect our front teeth well.
