Extraction Aftercare

Drink water and avoid using any straws for the first week after surgery. Any suction can disturb the blood clot that protects the tooth socket. This will make the healing process take longer. Sleep with your head slightly elevated instead of laying flat. Contact us for more recovery tips.

Watch Out For These Signs!

If your baby is struggling with sleeping through the night, they could be teething. Besides sleepless nights, these are common signs that indicate they’re teething. Help alleviate any pain by providing your child with teether devices such as toys or rings, medicine like Ibuprofen or Tylenol, and warm baths to relax them. Be sure to avoid any numbing compounds that contain topical benzocaine.
