From tomorrow morning - for up to one week - rinse your mouth gently, at least four times a day, with warm salty water. The best times would be after meals and before bed. Half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water is sufficient
If you experience any bleeding use a bite pack – you will have been given a pack. Bite hard on it for twenty minutes. You may need to use more than one at a time
You may eat and drink normally after 3 hours but take care not to disturb the clot, which will have formed in the tooth socket
Take care not to drink hot fluids or bite your lip/tongue while numb
Take it easy for the remainder of the day. Avoid strenuous exercise
Brush your teeth normally but take extra care in the area where your tooth was extracted
Take painkillers if you need them. Some swelling or discomfort is entirely normal for two to three days
If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to call us.

Thank you for showing such interest in the toothbrush that my daughter insisted on bringing into the surgery today! It is taking the time over such simple things that can really make a difference. I am so glad that she is growing up with none of the fears I had about visiting the dentist!
