Care of Mouth Following Extraction

  • CLOSELY WATCH YOUR CHILD UNTIL THE ANESTHESIA WEARS OFF. LOCAL ANESTHESIA MAY LAST AS LONG AS 2 HOURS. DO NOT ALLOW HIM / HER TO BITE, SUCK OR RUB THE LIPS, FACE OR TONGUE WHILE THEY FEEL NUMB.

 

  • YOUR  CHILD SHOULD AVOID EXCESSIVE PHYSICAL EXERTIONS.

 

  • BLEEDING CAN BE CONTROLLED FOLLOWING AN EXTRACTION BY MAINTAINING GAUZE PAD FIRMLY OVER THE EXTRACTIONS SITE FOR 20 MINUTES FOLLOWING EXTRACTIONS. PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD BITE, NOT CHEW ON GAUZE.

 

  • PAIN CAN USUALLY BE ALLEVIATED BY TAKING TYLENOL, MOTRIN, OR ADVIL AS NEEDED. DO NOT GIVE YOUR CHILD MEDICATIONS CONTAINING ASPIRIN.

 

  • YOUR CHILD MAY BE MORE COMFORTABLE EATING COOL, SOFT FOODS FOR UP TO 24 HOURS.

 

Please DO NOT Hesitate to Contact Us If You Have Any Questions or Concerns.
