Watch the video below for a quick explanation of tooth extraction aftercare.
If you have recently undergone a tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, or dental extraction procedure, following the correct aftercare instructions can help reduce pain, swelling, bleeding, and the risk of complications.
अगर आपका दांत अभी निकाला गया है, तो नीचे दी गई सलाह का पालन करें ताकि घाव जल्दी भरे और परेशानी कम हो।
After Tooth Extraction: First 24 Hours
Cotton Gauze (रुई)
A cotton gauze has been placed over the extraction site to help stop bleeding.
Keep biting firmly on the gauze for approximately 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove it and discard it.
In most cases, a second gauze is not required.
दांत निकालने के बाद रखी गई रुई को लगभग 1 घंटे तक दबाकर रखें। उसके बाद उसे निकालकर फेंक दें।

What Not to Do After Tooth Extraction
For the first 48 hours:
Do not spit forcefully.
Do not rinse vigorously.
Do not use a straw.
Avoid hot foods and beverages.
Avoid spicy foods.
Avoid hard or crunchy foods.
Avoid carbonated drinks such as Coke, Sprite, and Fanta.
These activities may dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.

थूकना नहीं है।
कुल्ला नहीं करना है।
स्ट्रॉ का उपयोग नहीं करना है।
गरम, तीखा या कड़क खाना नहीं खाना है।

Stitches After Tooth Extraction
If stitches (sutures) have been placed:
They are usually removed after 10–12 days.
Do not touch them with your fingers.
Avoid repeatedly checking them with your tongue.
अगर टांके लगाए गए हैं, तो उन्हें उंगली या जीभ से बार-बार न छुएं।
Medicines After Tooth Removal
Please take all prescribed medicines exactly as advised by your dentist.
Take antibiotics on time (if prescribed).
Take pain medication as directed.
Complete the full course unless instructed otherwise.
दवाइयां सही समय और सही मात्रा में लें।
Pain and Swelling After Tooth Extraction
Mild pain and swelling for 2–4 days is usually normal.
To reduce swelling:
Apply an ice pack from outside the face.
Use ice only during the first 24 hours.
Apply intermittently rather than continuously.
दांत निकलवाने के बाद 2–4 दिन तक हल्का दर्द रहना सामान्य है।
When Should You Contact Your Dentist?
Please contact your dentist if:
Pain increases instead of improving.
Bleeding continues excessively.
Swelling becomes severe.
You develop fever.
You have concerns about healing.
यदि दर्द कम होने के बजाय बढ़ रहा हो या कोई अन्य परेशानी हो, तो अपने दंत चिकित्सक से संपर्क करें।
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does bleeding last after tooth extraction?
Minor oozing for several hours is normal. If heavy bleeding continues despite following instructions, contact your dentist.
Can I drink tea after tooth extraction?
It is best to avoid hot tea, coffee, and other hot beverages during the first 48 hours.
Can I brush my teeth after tooth extraction?
Avoid brushing directly over the extraction area for the first 48 hours. Continue cleaning the rest of your mouth gently.
