Dentists do not cease to repeat that with the treatment of teeth can not be delayed. Banal caries can develop into a serious problem. If you do not contact the dentist in time, you will have to contact the surgeon in the future. But even after removing the tooth problems will not decrease. And it's not just that you have to put prostheses that will require considerable financial costs. Let's figure it out in order.
Bleeding at the site of removal
Treatment of teeth after tooth extraction is a fairly long procedure. Usually, after a surgical intervention, the specialist applies drainage at the site of the operation. This is a pressure bandage, which allows you to stop bleeding from the hole. Drainage in any case can not be removed ahead of time. The tampon should stand at the place of removal for at least half an hour. If drainage accidentally slips, you should immediately contact your dentist. Neglect of this advice can lead to serious blood loss.
Many people mistakenly believe that rinsing with antiseptic or soda solution will lead to an early healing of the wound. This is not quite true. If the dentist has not appointed such a procedure, self-medication should not be resorted to. Frequent rinsing can also lead to the discovery of bleeding. Do not rinse gums, even if there is a flux after tooth extraction. Treatment can only appoint a competent specialist. Pus in the place of surgical intervention is a serious reason to repeatedly contact a doctor.
Pain sensations
The very procedure of tooth extraction is painless. Today, dentistry has stepped far ahead. Strongest anesthetics are used to relieve the patient's condition. Together with this, one must be prepared for the pain to appear a few hours after the surgical intervention. Treatment of teeth after tooth extraction involves the use of special anesthetics in the first few days. You should listen to your own feelings. If the pain is tolerable, it is better to stop the pills. Such analgesics as "Analgin", "Ketanov", "Dolaren", "Solpadein", etc. are used as analgesics. Before using medicines, you should carefully study the instructions. It is worth remembering that any tablets have their contraindications.
Anesthetics should be used after meals, with plenty of water. In this case, they will act much faster. Treatment of teeth after tooth extraction must be prescribed by a specialist. Only the dentist can select an analgesic according to the characteristics of the patient's body. With caution, medications are used by people with pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
Cooling at the
removal site In the first minutes after the operation, the doctor can attach a packet of ice to the sore spot. This manipulation can reduce pain and quickly stop bleeding. Self-use ice at home is not recommended. Subcooling can lead to the development of an inflammatory process.
Until the wound is tightened, you should warmly dress and be out of doors in cool weather. The organism has suffered stress and is vulnerable to various infections. People who work, it is necessary to issue a sick leave or leave at your own expense for several days. Banal supercooling in the street often leads to the development of flux in the place of removal of the tooth.
Dentistry and bad habits
Smoking people have much more problems with dentistry. Often there are complications after tooth extraction. Treatment at the same time requires serious financial costs. Such phenomenon as "dry holes" leads to a long process of healing of the postoperative wound. In addition, the vacuum that is generated when smoke is drawn in can lead to the displacement of blood clots or drainage. As a result, repeated bleeding may occur. Experts recommend to refrain from bad habits within a few days after tooth extraction.
Alcohol will also have to be abandoned temporarily. Dental treatment after tooth extraction is a serious procedure. Specialists do not prescribe drugs based on alcohol. The fact is that alcohol helps to thin the blood. Even drinking beer can provoke bleeding. In the best case, the healing process will be delayed, at worst - you will need urgent help from the dentist.
Alveolitis after tooth extraction
Treatment of gums after surgery is to take preventive measures to avoid the development of complications. The most common of these is the alveolitis. This is the inflammation of the walls of the socket from which the diseased tooth is removed. Most often, such a problem arises just like smoking people. The inflammatory process requires an integrated approach. In most cases, dentists prescribe antibacterial agents from the group of fluoroquinolones. Macrolide antibiotics also have a good effect.
What should I do to prevent the development of the alveolitis after tooth extraction? Treatment - pleasure is not cheap and obviously not pleasant, so it is better to take, so to speak, preventive measures. For example, to resort to the help of antiseptics for the purpose of prevention. For washing the wells, medicines such as Miramistin, Stomatidin, Hexamidine, etc. can be used. In addition, the specialist can prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs: Nurofen, Ketorol, Ibuprofen. They not only stop the development of the inflammatory process, but also perfectly relieve the pain.
Use of other medications
Dental problems are rarely solved without the use of medication. The use of folk remedies often causes complications after tooth extraction. Treatment should appoint only a competent specialist. The dentist, before writing a prescription, should specify what chronic ailments the patient suffers, whether it is prone to allergic reactions. Postoperative care is selected in accordance with the individual characteristics of the patient's body.
A special approach requires treatment after removal of the tooth cyst. Complex therapy will include the use of antibacterial as well as anti-inflammatory drugs. In dentistry, such medicines as "Amoxiclav" and "Sumamed" are widely used. Applying antibiotics, it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of the doctor. Improvement of the patient can feel the very next day after the start of treatment. But to stop therapy in any case it is impossible. Bacteria can develop immunity. As a result, the inflammatory process will soon resume. Stop taking medication is only if you have allergy symptoms( skin itch, rash, swelling of the extremities).
Physical Exercises
Treatment of the socket after tooth extraction is not only in the proper administration of medication. Control of physical activity also plays an important role. In the first few days after the operation, you should give up loads. Overwork can lead to the discovery of bleeding. In addition, should be abandoned any procedures that can help increase blood pressure. These include a sauna, a hot tub. Overheating is no less dangerous than hypothermia.
Sleep should also be organized correctly. After surgery, you need to rest more. Under the head is to lay another pillow. This will avoid pressure on the sore spot.
Correctly choose the food
The correct diet will allow you to quickly cope with the pain after the operation. The treatment of gums after tooth extraction is the selection of soft foods that do not require great effort when chewing. It is generally desirable to switch to frayed food. The diet can include broths, mashed potatoes, compotes. It is worth giving up coffee and strong tea. These drinks help increase blood pressure.
If the removal was simple, you can also include solid foods in the diet. In this case, you need to ensure that food does not fall on the sore spot. Temporarily will have to give up too salty, sharp and sour dishes. All this can irritate the tissue. After eating, the mouth cavity should be rinsed with boiled water. Remains of food are an excellent medium for the development of pathogens.
Hygiene matters
For the first few days, teeth that are in the immediate vicinity of the removal site should not be cleaned with a brush. Rigid bristles can injure the wound. Hygiene of the oral cavity can be organized in a different way. On sale there are many special rinses that perfectly remove plaque. After each meal, you must wash the affected area with boiled water.
Particular attention to hygiene should be given if there is pus after tooth extraction. Treatment consists in washing the wound with an antiseptic. Further, you can already carry out the usual cleaning with a rinse aid or a toothbrush if the wound is small.
To clean the mouth, you can use a variety of herbal decoctions. Chamomile, for example, perfectly removes inflammation after tooth extraction. Treatment with this plant has virtually no contraindications. But it is better to consult a dentist beforehand.
Stitching
Some dental operations can not do without stitching. This procedure is often followed by treatment after removal of the wisdom tooth. The large hole is often tightened with special threads, which quickly dissolve. In some cases, threads can be used that need to be removed after a few weeks. But you should not be afraid of this procedure. The dentist removes the stitches under anesthesia. The patient absolutely does not feel discomfort.
Timing of healing
After removal of the tooth, a hole remains, which is tightened for several weeks. The exact timing of wound healing is difficult to indicate. They are individual for each patient. If you follow the recommendations of the doctor and give up bad habits, discomfort and pain quickly go away. Much faster heals in people under 30 years. With age, metabolic processes slow down. As a result, the rehabilitation process becomes longer. The timing of healing also depends on the variety of tooth that was removed. Lunks of one root are tightened for 7-10 days. Wounds after removal of the wisdom tooth can disturb the patient for about a month.
A few days after the surgery, the patient may notice a white film in the hole. This is a young epithelial tissue. Stripping or scraping it is strictly prohibited. After a while, the hole is completely filled with a young epithelium.
Solution of aesthetic problems
Tooth extraction solves many problems. First of all, it is possible to prevent the development of infection in the oral cavity. However, the absence of just one tooth can spoil the smile. Modern prosthetics can solve many aesthetic problems. The doctor will pick up the crown, which in appearance does not differ in any way from healthy teeth. If desired, you can put veneers or dentures. Of course, any of these procedures is expensive. It is much cheaper to contact the dentist in a timely manner and monitor the health of the oral cavity.
