Though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteoralsurgeryassociates.com\/wisdom-tooth-extractions.html\">wisdom tooth extraction<\/a> is a routine procedure, you&rsquo;ll still want to follow all of your dentist&rsquo;s instructions closely concerning aftercare, and you should come up with a plan for getting proper rest and recuperation so that you can return to action! Here are a few tips to help you out.<\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Sleep in the Correct Position<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&rsquo;s normally best to rest with your head elevated above your heart for the first 24 hours following your wisdom tooth extraction. You can easily do this by sleeping in a recliner or using extra pillows to prop your head up in bed. Be sure to make your bedroom environment comfortable and dark, so that it&rsquo;s easier to fall asleep. If you have gauze in your mouth to assist with post-op bleeding, it&rsquo;s also important to have someone else at home with you while you&rsquo;re sleeping, to reduce the risk of choking on the gauze.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Establish Good Habits<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a similar vein, be sure you&rsquo;re adhering to smart sleeping habits during your recovery. Don&rsquo;t stay up too late, as your body quite literally needs its rest to heal. Alcohol and tobacco can both interfere with your body&rsquo;s healing capabilities, so it&rsquo;s also a wise idea to avoid these activities after your surgery, ideally until you&rsquo;re fully healed.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Properly Manage Your Pain<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Managing pain is an important part of sleeping after wisdom tooth removal. It&rsquo;s recommended that you follow the instructions on your prescribed pain medication or take over-the-counter pain medication as instructed by your dentist. If you&rsquo;re in a great deal of pain, don&rsquo;t take more than what&rsquo;s recommended &ndash; instead, call your dentist at once, as it might be a sign of a dry socket or another complication. You can also use cold compresses to manage your pain while you rest; it&rsquo;ll also assist with any swelling.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Follow Other Post-Op Instructions<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying fed and properly hydrated after your wisdom tooth removal also helps to ensure that your recovery goes smoothly &ndash; and it also ensures you&rsquo;re able to fall asleep well-fed each night. However, be sure you&rsquo;re sticking to soft foods and drinks only, and avoid using a straw since the suction can dislodge the blood clots that form over your surgical sites.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&rsquo;s normal to experience some discomfort following wisdom tooth extraction, but following all of your dentist&rsquo;s instructions and taking care to ensure that you get enough rest will allow you to recover quickly and without any issues!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team here at Elite Oral Surgery Associates has proudly served the dental needs of patients in Worcester and the surrounding area for many years, offering a wide variety of services including wisdom tooth extraction.
