Question: What are some things NOT to do after teeth extractions!?
Answers:
The care and aftercare of a tooth extraction entails following the five suggestions below:
1!.!. DO NOT rinse your mouth out for 24 hours following a tooth extraction - doing so may cause the blood clot, that is sealing the hole and allowing healing to take place, to come away!.
2!.!. NO SMOKING FOR 2 DAYS following the tooth extraction!. Some dental associations recommend no smoking for two weeks!.
3!.!. Only warm, soft foods and drinks to be taken, and kept as far from the extraction hole as possible - Definitely no swishing in the mouth, as the blood clot may be removed or a piece of food may enter the hole and become lodged in causing much pain!. After 7 days, you can normally return to a normal diet!.
4!.!. The day following the tooth extraction and for at least the next 5 days, stir a teaspoon of salt into 250 ml - a glass - of warm water until dissolved!. Rinse the mouth GENTLY with the salt water and give the salt water a little time to be soaking the tooth extraction point!. Use after eating or drinking anything, as it keeps the extraction wound clean and the salt helps to keep the area sterile from germs!. Use the salt rinse every night before bed as well!.
5!.!. Resume good teeth cleaning practices from about day 2 following the tooth extraction, but be careful near the extraction site!.

You don't brush your teeth the first 24 hours, according to my oral surgeon!.
Anyways, don't eat seeded fruits/foods that can get stuck in the extraction site, rinse with warm salt water (1tsp!. salt for every cup of water), eat soft things, don't spit or use a straw, don't mess with the hole in the gum, avoid sugary drinks, no smoking, no hot liquids for the first 12 hours, and no exercise for the first 3 days, and try to wait about a week if you're in a strenuous exercise program (heavy weights, long periods of running, etc!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

DO NOT drink from a straw! It will give you dry socket, which is painful!. Dry socket is when the blood remaining from where the tooth was goes dry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Drink soda or any carbonated drinks
Use a straw (Can be harmful to your area where the stitches are)
