Tooth extraction is a minor operation in oral treatment. Under normal circumstances, 5-15 minutes after tooth extraction, bleeding in the extraction socket stops, blood clots are formed, and granulation tissue is gradually formed.
After 5-6 days, the granulation tissue was covered with epithelial cells and the wound healed gradually.
Although the operation is small, such as not paying attention to the protection of the tooth extraction wound, or wound infection, can also bring pain to the patient.
Therefore, attention should be paid to the following problems after tooth extraction: ¢Ù After tooth extraction, gently bite the cotton ball or gauze rolled in the tooth extraction wound for 30 ~ 40 minutes.

The day of the tooth extraction less talk, do not spit hard, do not lick the wound with the tongue, do not gargle or brush your teeth;
2 hours later can eat, generally with semi-liquid and soft food is appropriate, pay attention to not eat hot food and stimulate the wound caused by pain, or cause vasodilatation, easy to cause bleeding, eating should avoid chewing with the extraction side.
¢Û A few hours after tooth extraction, there may be a small amount of blood extravasation, resulting in saliva often light red, which is a normal phenomenon.
If there is a large amount of blood or blood clots, you should bite a sterile gauze and ask your doctor for further treatment.
¢Ü It is normal to have mild pain in the wound 1 to 2 days after extraction.
