6 things to note when women have their wisdom teeth removed

Most people have experienced the pain of growing wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the third molars of a person. Generally, it is best to go to a regular dental hospital to remove wisdom teeth. It is forbidden to extract teeth during menstruation in women to avoid adverse consequences. After tooth extraction, you should pay attention to cold compress to better eliminate swelling and avoid eating hard or irritating foods. So what else should we pay attention to besides these?

1. Wisdom teeth should be removed only when there is no local inflammation or the inflammation is mild. If the inflammation is severe, you should first take oral anti-inflammatory drugs or intravenous antibiotics, and then go to the hospital for removal after the inflammation is eliminated. You can gargle with salt water you prepare yourself, which is effective in eliminating inflammation. If the inflammation is severe, you should go to the hospital in time and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

2. If you want to remove a troublesome wisdom tooth, it is recommended to go to the hospital in the morning. The first reason is that in the morning, people's physical indicators, such as blood pressure, tend to be stable, can resist major damage, and are less likely to have abnormal conditions. In addition, if there are any problems after surgery, it is easier to deal with them during the day than at night, and it is more convenient to see a doctor.

3. Except for those who need to measure fasting blood sugar and other tests after arriving at the hospital, other patients are advised to see a doctor after eating, otherwise it is easy to cause hypoglycemia and symptoms such as dizziness. Women are prohibited from having their teeth extracted during menstruation.

4. Doctors in regular dental hospitals have good operating skills and good anesthesia effects. Except for slight pain when anesthesia is injected, tooth extraction is basically painless. Patients only need to open their mouths wide to cooperate with the doctor's operation. They can relax and don't need to worry too much or be nervous.

5. After the doctor extracts the tooth, the patient will be asked to gently bite a cotton ball or gauze roll at the extraction site in his mouth. Generally, the patient should bite the cotton ball or gauze for about 40 minutes to an hour, otherwise it will easily bleed. You cannot rinse your mouth or brush your teeth within 24 hours after tooth extraction, but you can drink a small amount of water. Try not to lick or suck the wound with your tongue. Eat mainly soft and cold food, and try to chew with the opposite side.

6. For teeth that are misaligned or take a long time to operate, the patient may experience slight swelling on the face after the operation. After tooth extraction, patients can use ice cubes to apply cold compresses to the face corresponding to the wound, which can reduce the degree of local swelling. Remember not to apply heat within 24 hours.
