1. DO NOT SMOKE and avoid passive smoking
2. YOU MUST REST for at least a day, and avoid excessive exercise for 3-4 days. NSAID’s (like
diclofenac or piroxicam) can cause kidney problems when taken with vigorous exercise
3. TAKE ALL YOUR MEDICATIONS, follow the pharmacist’s instructions carefully, and commence
your anti-pain medications before your local anaesthetic wears off
4. ABSTAIN FROM ALCOHOL for at least a day
5. SOAK (but DO NOT RINSE) YOUR MOUTH AFTER 24 HOURS with your prescribed mouth
washes and salts. “Coffee hot” water (~38-40 degrees Celsius) mixed with a spoonful of
anaesthetic-laced-salt and allowed to “soak” over the surgical area can be very soothing. Only
use this method at least 24 hours after the procedure. Vigorous rinsing can lead to loss of
blood clot, and this in turn can lead to dry socket or wound breakdown. If you have been advised
to use nasal douche, commence this after 48 hours from your time of surgery
6. DO NOT EAT MILK PRODUCTS until your sutures are removed. Milk, custard, soy and yoghurt
can leave a film in your mouth that is difficult to clean without rinsing. Vigorous rinsing may lead to
wound opening and loss of clot. Long standing food residue can lead to wound infection
7. EAT SEMI SOLID OR LIQUID FOOD Beef broth, minestrone, noodle soups and blended fruit, or
you may purchase Enlive (Abbott) or Resource (Novatis) from the pharmacy. These have high
nutrition, are low in residue and are easy to swallow without chewing
IN THE EVENT OF BLEEDING
1. REMEMBER A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD IN A LOT OF SALIVA CAN SEEM LIKE YOU MAY BE
EXCESSIVELY, AND FALSELY BLEEDING
2. MOST BLEEDING WILL STOP WITH FIRM BITING on a soaking material such as rolled gauze,
muslin square, or clean handkerchief over the site of the extraction socket, or surgical wound. Be
careful in placing your soaking material so as not to open a fresh wound
3. BE PATIENT, QUIET, AND CALM. Do not let the advice or experiences of others lead you to an
irrational action or panic. Lie down in a quiet room and wait for 30 minutes to reassess whether
bleeding has ceased. If bleeding continues, attempt sucking on an ice cube placed directly over
the area of bleeding, and then repeat firm biting on a soaking material
4. IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO SPIT OR EXPECTORATE as this often stimulates more bleeding.
Try to swallow your saliva after you are sure that you are biting correctly on the rolled soaking
material you have placed over the socket
IN THE CASE OF PAIN OR DISCOMFORT
1. Take two Panadol or aspirin or follow the dosage instructions of the prescribed medication given
to you
2. With the use of paracetamol (Panamax, Panadol, Herron etc) take two tablets (1gm for adults, or
15mg/kg of body weight in children) every 4 to 6 hours
