What happens after a tooth extraction?
Your dentist will probably need to make sure the gum socket is clean after your tooth has been removed. If you needed a cut in the gum during tooth removal, you might need a stitch to close the cut.
You might have some bleeding, and if so, the dentist will usually ask you to bite down on a piece of gauze to stop the bleeding.
Once the anaesthetic wears off, you will probably have some pain. Your dentist might write you a prescription for pain relief medicine or recommend an over-the-counter medicine.
You’ll also probably be told to eat soft foods and chew on the unaffected side of your mouth for a while. Be careful not to bite your lip while it is numb. You should rest and avoid physical sports, smoking, and drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours.
