Hey, wait! Remember ‘you can do it’....with these aftercare tips, of course - 

Swelling - 

Though puffy cheeks are cute and we anyway love you the way you are, still minimising swelling after your extraction is easy. How about applying some ice packs? Not that tough, right! So here you are, on and off outside your mouth for about one day after the extraction will definitely help you to reduce the discomfort because of swelling or bruising.

Bleeding - 

We are not here to scare the hell out of you, trust us! But the truth to be unfolded is that bleeding might follow you after the extraction. So, the placed pad by your dentist at the extraction site has to come into the picture. What? Did you throw that right after the surgery? Stop kidding. We are sure, your dentist must have told you to keep the pad intact for about 30 minutes right after the surgery. That way, it will help you stop bleeding and you can also bite down with gentle pressure for the better assistance of blood clotting. So take it easy!

Medication -
