If you had your tooth extracted, you may be concerned about what to do next. Here's a simple checklist for the first few days 📝:

- Leave the office with dental gauze in your mouth, you need to bite it until you get home 😬. Then, examine it to check if you are not actively bleeding and no longer need to hold pressure or if a new gauze is required.
- Hold an ice pack on the side that was worked on for 20 minutes, remove it for 10 minutes, and then re-apply for another 20 minutes. ❄️🧊
- If you are no longer bleeding you can have soft food 🍚🍵. Avoid hard and crunchy food on the side where the tooth was extracted. 🌮🥜
- Avoid alcohol and smoking in the first 3 to 4 days. 🍺🚭
- Brush your teeth on the night of the extraction and rinse gently with just water. The next day, gently rinse the area with warm salt water. You can do this 2-3 times a day for the first 4-5 days. 🍶🧂
- Take all medications prescribed by your dentist. 💊
