Q

What happens after third molar extraction?

A

After the removal of wisdom teeth, you may experience bleeding from the treated areas, as well as swelling and bruising of your cheeks. Your dentist may recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers to relieve pain and discomfort, and avoiding strenuous activities that could loosen the blood clot in the empty socket. You will also be instructed to eat soft foods, drink plenty of water, and rinse your mouth instead of brushing to avoid aggravating the treated areas. Follow your dentist’s instructions after wisdom tooth removal can help you avoid complications such as dry socket.
