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
For more information on care for clots and post-surgical care, contact Chess and Taub Family Dentistry at (215) 576-0421 today.
