hello there, cotton should be placed 30-45 mins and then removed, after 45 min have something cold like cold water or juice without using straw. Keep swallowing the saliva as you are not supposed to spit out today. have cold and soft food, no hard and hot food items are advised. you can use ice packs on cheeks on the affected side. Take medication advised by the dentist. no smoking or alcohol is advised. from tomorrow onwards rinse your mouth using warm water and salt 2-3 times a day.
Next Steps
little pain is expected in case pain is too much consult your dentist.
Health Tips
