After Exposure of an Impacted Teeth

Do not disturb the wound. Any placed surgical packing helps to keep the tooth exposed.
Some bleeding is expected following surgery. Excessive bleeding may be controlled by placing a gauze pad over the area and biting firmly for 30 minutes. If bleeding continues, you may bite on a moistened tea bag for 30 minutes. The tannic acid in tea helps form a blood clot.
Swelling around the mouth, cheeks, eyes, and sides of the face is not uncommon. To minimize swelling, apply an ice pack on the cheek in the area of surgery. Apply the ice for 20 min. on/ 20 min. off, as often as possible, for the first 36 hours.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid hot liquids or food. Soft food and liquids should be eaten on the day of surgery. Return to a normal diet as soon as possible.
You should begin taking pain medication as soon as you feel the local anesthetic wearing off. For moderate pain, one or two Tylenol or Extra Strength Tylenol may be taken. Tylenol may be taken every three to four hours. Two to three tablets may be taken every three to four hours as needed for pain.
Beginning the day after surgery, brush your teeth as best you can. Rinse with warm salt water (one teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water) six times a day. Continue until healing is complete.
Limit physical activity following surgery.
