After your Tooth Extraction
After your tooth extraction you will usually be ready to go home straight away. Your dentist will provide you with some gauze to prevent bleeding.
You will not be able to consume alcohol or smoke for at least 24 hours to allow healing and prevent dry socket. Also avoid rigorous activity, hot drinks, crunchy foods etc for at least three days.
If bleeding re-occurs you can simply bite down gently open a clean tissue until the bleeding stops. Over-the-counter pain relief can be taken but avoid aspiring as it's blood thinning properties could cause bleeding.
