After
oral surgery,
Dr. Harry Taub and Dr. Gregory Chess suggest you protect the clot
A blood clot should form in the wisdom tooth extraction site; this needs to
be protected for proper healing. Healing is a delicate process and
requires the restriction of certain activities; otherwise the blood clot
can be dislodged.
Oral Surgery Care And Things You Must Avoid:
Sucking or blowing motions
Smoking
Drinking through a straw for 24
hours
Rinsing your mouth vigorously
Mouthwash (until your oral surgeon
approves its use)
Cleaning teeth next to the extracted
site for the rest of the day
Strenuous exercise for 24 hours
Hot liquids or alcoholic beverages
