Tooth Extractions in Exeter
We understand that this can often be a concern for patients but having had teeth out ourselves we feel that we can empathise and support you through this process.
For particularly nervous patients we can offer a specialist referral for sedation if needed.
Aftercare
After having a tooth removed, you should follow some steps to help your mouth heal and prevent infection. Some of the common tips are:
- Avoid mouthwash, hot food and drinks, smoking, alcohol and strenuous activity for the first 24 hours.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water four times a day, especially after meals.
- Eat soft and healthy foods and drink plenty of liquids.
- Brush your teeth gently, but avoid the extraction site.
- Take painkillers and antibiotics as prescribed by your dentist.
Aftercare and follow-up appointments if needed are explained during your treatment. If you have any concerns please contact us directly and our team will be happy to help.
