After your extraction, it’s normal to have some bleeding, swelling, and soreness for the first few days. These symptoms are part of the normal healing process and usually improve with time.
We’ll give you detailed instructions before you leave, including how to control bleeding, what to eat, when to brush, and how to care for the extraction site. Following these instructions is one of the best ways to help your mouth heal comfortably.
If your pain becomes worse instead of better, you develop significant swelling, or you have any concerns during healing, please call us. We’d much rather answer a question early than have you worry at home.
