Poor aftercare following a tooth extraction can result in complications, leading to increased pain. By following your dentist’s aftercare instructions you reduce the possibility of post-extraction teeth issues.

Key takeaways:

– Stick to the prescribed pain medication plan given by your dentist, and not just take them when in pain.

– Avoid alcohol and tobacco, and do not rinse your mouth for the first 48 hours.

– Dry socket occurs when the blood clot on the extraction point is disturbed and can be very painful.
