After Extraction Care
Similar to other minor surgical procedures, the time following a tooth extraction is very important.

- Keep gauze on the site until a blood clot forms.
- Gently rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication to manage any discomfort.
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
