Proper oral care after wisdom teeth removal is necessary for healing. Here’s how to minimise swelling after your wisdom teeth have been removed.
Main takeaways:
– Rinse your mouth with salt water to remove food residue and kill bacteria.
– Use a hot or cold compress for 20 minutes, then remove for 20 minutes; repeat.
– Gently chew on chamomile bags for 15 minutes.
– Keep your head raised to ensure proper blood flow.
Follow instructions from the dentist to prevent dental infections. Also, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol until the swelling stops.
