Hello sir .....you can brush your teeth in a normal way with very light pressure over the extraction area apply you can clean it with help of your finger.Do not use ice packs anymore.Dont scrape the whitish area it is a healing process only.Rinse with lukewarm water, pain will go off eventually.If pain is still there you can practo consult regarding the same via phone call.Regards.

Yes u can brush over the extraction area with light pressure, keep the more clean, rinse with luke warm water after each meal. Cold pack is given after extraction to minimise bleeding, if it's bleeding then u can apply cold pack.. It needs few days to recover to normal..
