Which trimester are U in?
U need a follow up atleast 5 days post operatively to chk if the socket is clean and if the area is clear of food lodgement. Plz make sure to keep the area clean by rinsing lightly with Luke warm water. Sutures placed may provide surface area for food lodgement.
Next Steps
follow up to check for dry socket
Health Tips
antibiotics and analgesics dose shouldn't be missed. post operative follow up is a must.
