Recovery Tips After Wisdom Tooth Surgery

Why Post-Surgery Care Matters

Wisdom tooth removal is a common procedure, but proper aftercare is crucial to ensure smooth healing and prevent complications. At Dr. Tayyeb’s Dental & Maxillofacial Center, we provide expert wisdom tooth removal in Gorakhpur along with personalized recovery guidance.

10 Recovery Tips After Wisdom Tooth Surgery

  1. Rest and Take It Easy
    Avoid strenuous activity for at least 24–48 hours. Let your body focus on healing.
  2. Use Cold Compresses
    Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort. Use for 15–20 minutes at a time.
  3. Follow Prescribed Medications
    Take painkillers and antibiotics exactly as directed by your oral surgeon.
  4. Stick to Soft Foods
    Eat yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and soups. Avoid spicy, crunchy, or hot foods.
  5. Avoid Straws and Spitting
    Suction can dislodge the blood clot and lead to dry socket—a painful condition.
  6. Keep Your Head Elevated
    Use an extra pillow while sleeping to minimize swelling and bleeding.
  7. Maintain Oral Hygiene Carefully
    Rinse gently with warm salt water after 24 hours. Avoid brushing near the surgical site initially.
  8. Stay Hydrated
    Drink plenty of water, but avoid carbonated drinks, alcohol, and caffeine during early recovery.
  9. Watch for Warning Signs
    Contact your dentist if you experience excessive bleeding, fever, or foul taste in the mouth.
  10. Attend Your Follow-Up Appointment
    Visit Dr. Tayyeb’s clinic for post-op evaluation and personalized care.
