- It is okay to put an ice pack but never put ice directly on the skin. (Ice pack helps in case of swelling) - Use for 15 minutes, and then take it off for next 15 minutes. Try this in every one- to two-hour. - After 45 mins to 1 hour of extraction remove the cotton placed in your mouth with your fingers. ( do not spit it) - After cotton removal please have some cold milk or a cup of ice cream ( without nuts ie plain). - You can drink cold water or room temperature water afterwards just avoid warm food or drinks for next 2 days. - Rest avoid using straw or stick ice cream’s.
