Wisdom tooth is the innermost third molar in the alveolar bone of human oral cavity, and the number from the central incisor is just the eighth tooth. Because it sprouts very late, it usually sprouts between 16 and 25 years old. Generally speaking, if it doesn't affect oral health, it doesn't need to be pulled out. What are the precautions before wisdom tooth extraction?
1. Before wisdom tooth extraction, you need to go to the hospital to confirm your condition and hear about the doctor. If the body has inflammation, cold and other diseases before tooth extraction, it is not allowed to extract teeth during aunt period. Long crooked difficult teeth is to take a film in advance to confirm the situation, when necessary, need to do CT examination root whether there is conflict to the tooth nerve. If the root is deeply contacted with the tooth nerve, the tooth extraction should be cautious. If the doctor does not give you a list, you will sign the immediate extraction. If the extraction is not good, it may lead to lifelong jaw and lip nerve numbness. Therefore, be sure to confirm the symptoms before tooth extraction and make preparations.
2. It is necessary to confirm whether there is drug allergy before tooth extraction. After tooth extraction, the hemostatic cotton should be clenched for 40 minutes, and then spit out the cotton ball gently. The suggestion is to sit in the hospital for 40 minutes and then leave after seeing the blood and bleeding. Besides, all the blood and saliva in the mouth have to be swallowed. The first wisdom tooth I pulled out was in junior high school. At that time, I vomited the hemostatic cotton soon after the tooth was pulled out, which led to continuous bleeding in the later stage. Imagine the scene of vomiting blood. I didn't notice it when I pulled out the wisdom tooth for the second time. Once the hemostatic cotton was spit out, the blood could not be stopped. It was a big taboo, because the blood clot also spitted out, resulting in the blood clot could not be formed and bleeding.
3. After tooth extraction, do not touch the wound by hand, do not suck by the tip of the tongue, and do not use toothpick or cotton swab to directly contact with hard objects. It was because I kept touching my cheek that I continued to be bloated and slightly inflamed the next day. So no matter the pain or anesthetic, do not rub and touch.
4. After tooth extraction, do not exercise, drink, eat hot food, gargle, speak less, and do not spit within 2 hours to prevent bleeding. You can eat some liquid food 2 hours after tooth extraction. I didn't see it before. I went to eat porridge immediately after tooth extraction. Although it's a liquid food, it's easy to get inflamed when I eat food when the blood is still flowing. In addition, don't rinse your mouth on the day after tooth extraction, and even more you can't brush your teeth. Gargling will only make the face more bloated.
5. You can't take a hot bath or hot water head after tooth extraction. I didn't know these two until later. I feel that I can't do it all that day. At last, I bleed for a day and a night. The next day, I took antibiotics to relieve the inflammation. My face is still swollen. It's better to sit and lie for half a day after tooth extraction. You can get up and walk after anesthetics.
What should we pay attention to after wisdom tooth extraction
1. Eat liquid food
Experts suggest that patients should try not to eat within 1-2 hours after tooth extraction, and choose some slag free cold liquid diet if they want to eat within 2-4 hours after tooth extraction.
The reason why we choose cold food is because cold food can make blood vessels constrict and achieve the effect of hemostasis.
2. A light diet
Just tooth extraction patients in the diet must pay attention to, diet must be light, for some meat and fishy food should try to avoid eating. You should eat more vegetables, but you should pay attention to the way of cooking when you eat vegetables.
Good is cooked into rotten, soft, fine form, or can also be made into sauce, powder, juice and other food. Do not eat spicy food, or it may lead to wound bleeding.
3. The food should be warm
Experts suggest that when eating, we must ensure the temperature of the food. The food is mainly warm, and never overheat.
Overheated food can lead to vasodilation and wound bleeding. In addition to overheated food, you can't eat too much rough food, such as leek, celery, and hard rice. These rough food can stimulate the wound, which is not conducive to healing.
