Tooth extraction is an essential procedure to protect oral health when needed. However, proper post-extraction care is crucial to speed up recovery and prevent complications. At Gazident Dental Clinic, with branches in Çiftlikköy and Altınova, our expert team provides comprehensive guidance for post-extraction care.
Common Issues After Tooth Extraction
Without proper care, certain problems may arise after tooth extraction. These include:
- Pain and Swelling: Mild pain and swelling in the extraction area are common in the first few days.
- Bleeding: Slight bleeding is normal shortly after the procedure.
- Dry Socket: Intense pain can occur if the blood clot at the extraction site dislodges.
- Infection: Poor hygiene can increase the risk of infection.
