Managing Discomfort After Dental Extraction: Tips & Tricks

How to manage discomfort during the healing process after dental extraction?

Answered on 23rd May '24

Cold compresses are an effective way to deal with the discomfort that comes along with healing after a dental extraction. Apply a cold compress to the affected area for 10-20 minutes every hour for the first 24-48 hours. Next, put a warm compress in place. Make an effort to stay away from any solid food and use hot beverages, instead, on the first days go for softer foods and cold drinks. If the pain doesn’t go away or gets worse, do not hesitate and visit your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.

Sir I drink accedently chlorhexidine mouthwash little bit what should I do now please help me

Male | 20

Drinking mouthwash by accident brings conce­rn. Chlorhexidine is strong; it may cause stomach pain, nause­a, and dizziness. These e­ffects could go away alone. Drink lots of water to dilute­ mouthwash. But if unwell or your issues continue, se­ek medical care.

Frenulum tear pain and irritation ............

Male | 28

A broken frenulum occurs when the gentle piece of fabric fastening your tongue or in another part of your body gets pulled or torn apart. You may experience pain or irritation, primarily when moving or moving your tongue or doing activities that affect that area. Occasionally, it may bleed slightly. Don't irritate it further to help it heal and clear it with salty water.

I applied lignocaine gel on the back throat, later I was given toxin powder, after that my mouth lost its sensation, after that I consulted the doctor, the doctor said that there is no toxicity in it, apply it again, the sensation will come back; later I had a lot of problem, skin presthesia or tongue presthesia is a lot of problem, I feel that nicotine etc. do not work, hair is falling, eyes are seeing blurred, there is a lot of problem.

Male | 25

Temporary numbness can occur with topical anesthetics, but persistent tingling or loss of sensation might require further evaluation. While these sensations can be distressing, they often resolve over time. Stress and anxiety can also contribute to feelings of discomfort and even hair loss. I recommend consulting your healthcare provider again to discuss these symptoms in detail and explore appropriate treatments. Prioritize your well-being, and don’t hesitate to seek support for relief and reassurance.

Why there is a bad odor from my mouth

Male | 18

Halitosis, the unple­asant odor from your mouth, can stem from various causes. Poor dental hygie­ne habits, allowing bacterial growth and plaque accumulation, ofte­n lead to this condition. Oral issues like gum dise­ase or dry mouth contribute too. Smoking cigarette­s, consuming odorous foods like garlic, can also result in foul breath. To combat bad bre­ath, practice thorough brushing, flossing daily, using antimicrobial mouthwash regularly. Stay hydrated by drinking ample­ water. Seek profe­ssional dental cleanings periodically for optimal oral he­alth.

See a dentist as soon as possible. Take pain relief medication as prescribed to manage the pain. Do not delay seeking dental care, as untreated dental issues can lead to more serious problems.
