Hello sir ,
After a tooth extraction, it's crucial to avoid spitting for the first 24 hours. Spitting creates negative pressure, which can disturb the blood clot that's forming at the extraction site. This clot is essential for proper healing. After the 24-hour period, you can spit gently, but still be careful. Here are some additional post-extraction instructions:
No using straw
Apply ice pack
Gentle rinsing
Medication to reduce pain and swelling
If you experience prolonged bleeding, pain, or any unusual symptoms, reach out to your dentist for advice.
