My husband is getting two teeth extracted today. Any tips for him to cope with the aftermath?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:He will need to eat soft foods for a day or two. He won’t want to chew on the side where the extraction was for a few days. He’ll have a dressing in his mouth at the extraction sites. He should rinse his mouth with salt water after about 24-hours. Other than that, he may need some pain killers for the first day. He also shouldn’t go doing anything too strenuous. Don’t go running or anything. I felt a bit weird when I had my tooth extracted. I felt a bit sick. I think it was probably just a reaction to the experience. It passed within a few hours. I just listened to my body and rested for the rest of the day. I had a back tooth extracted a while ago. Apart from the horrible feeling of having my tooth pulled, I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure. I also didn’t need any painkillers.
