• Be Gentle When Brushing
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean teeth carefully,
avoiding the healing area, to maintain hygiene without
irritating the wisdom tooth extraction site.
• Rinse with Care
Prepare a saltwater rinse to reduce swelling and clean
the mouth gently, without vigorous swishing, to prevent
dislodging the protective blood clot.

• Avoid Flossing Near the Extraction Area
Avoid flossing around the wisdom tooth extraction site until
cleared by your dentist to prevent irritation or disruption of
the healing process.
• Stay Away from Straws
Avoid using straws after wisdom tooth extraction as the
suction can dislodge the blood clot, causing complications
like dry sockets and delaying the healing process.

• Opt for a Soft Diet
Choose soft foods like yogurt and mashed potatoes to
protect the extraction site, avoiding crunchy, sticky, or
spicy items that could irritate the healing area.
• Keep Your Dentist in the Loop
Contact your dentist immediately if you experience prolonged
pain, swelling, or unusual symptoms to ensure your wisdom
tooth extraction site heals properly and without
complications.
