Understanding Wisdom Teeth

Recovery from Wisdom Teeth Removal in Boduppal, Banjara Hills, Shaikpet & Kukatpally usually takes about one to two weeks. Follow these guidelines for a smooth healing process:

First 24 Hours:

• Apply an ice pack on the cheek to reduce swelling.
• Bite down on gauze to control bleeding.
• Avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods.
• Keep your head propped up while resting to reduce swelling.

Days 2-4:

• Swelling may peak; continue using ice packs.
• Consume soft foods such as soups, yogurt, and mashed potatoes for a comfortable recovery.
• Avoid using straws to prevent dry socket.
• Gently rinse your mouth with salt water after meals to promote healing.

Days 5-7:

• The swelling should subside.
• Gradually return to a normal diet, avoiding crunchy or hard foods.
• Maintain good oral hygiene, but avoid direct brushing on the extraction site.
• Avoid intense physical activities.

Week 2 Onwards:

• Stitches dissolve naturally (if used).
• Regular brushing and flossing can resume, avoiding the extraction site.
• Any lingering soreness should completely fade.

If you experience excessive bleeding, severe pain, or signs of infection, contact Ankusha Dental Clinic immediately.
