After Tooth extraction or Wisdom tooth Extraction

After a tooth extraction, it’s important to follow these instructions to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of complications:

Bite down gently on a piece of gauze placed over the extraction site for at least 30 minutes to control bleeding.
Avoid rinsing or spitting for 24 hours after the extraction. This can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.
Apply an ice pack to your cheek for 10 minutes at a time to reduce swelling.
Avoid smoking or using tobacco products for at least 72 hours after the extraction, as they can slow down healing and increase the risk of complications.
Avoid drinking alcohol or using mouthwash for at least 24 hours after the extraction, as they can irritate the extraction site and delay healing.
Eat soft foods for the first 24 hours, and gradually introduce solid foods as the extraction site heals.
Brush and floss your teeth carefully, avoiding the extraction site, to keep your mouth clean and prevent infection.
Take any prescribed pain medication as directed by your dentist or oral surgeon.
If you experience severe pain, swelling, or bleeding, contact your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.

Apply an ice pack to your cheek for 10 minutes at a time to reduce swelling.
Avoid smoking or using tobacco products for at least 72 hours after the implant placement, as they can slow down healing and increase the risk of complications.

After root canal procedure and crown preparation appointment

It’s important to note that some mild discomfort, sensitivity, or swelling is normal after a cleaning and shaping procedure in a root canal treatment, and these symptoms should gradually improve over the next few days.

Avoid using the fixed tooth to bite or chew until the crown is fully set and the cement has hardened.

It’s important to note that some mild discomfort or sensitivity is normal after a dental crown fixing procedure, and these symptoms should gradually improve over the next few days. If the crown becomes loose or falls out, contact your dentist immediately. Additionally, be aware that the crown may require adjustments or refinements after it is fixed to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

After braces fixing

After fixing braces, it’s important to follow these instructions to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of complications:

Avoid hard, crunchy, sticky, or chewy foods for the first few days after getting your braces fixed. These types of foods can damage or dislodge the brackets and wires.
Brush and floss your teeth carefully, being sure to clean around the brackets and wires. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash to help reduce bacteria and prevent infection.
Use orthodontic wax to cover any sharp or protruding wires or brackets that may irritate your cheeks or lips.

Be patient with the process. It may take a few days to adjust to the feeling of the braces in your mouth, and you may experience some discomfort or soreness during this time.
Avoid chewing on hard objects, such as pens or pencils, as this can cause damage to the braces.

It’s important to note that regular visits to your orthodontist are crucial for the success of your treatment. You should follow your orthodontist’s instructions carefully and attend all scheduled appointments to ensure that your braces are working properly and your teeth are moving as planned. Additionally, if you experience any severe pain, swelling, or bleeding, or if a bracket or wire becomes loose or dislodged, contact your orthodontist immediately.

What They Say

The one thing I liked about Dr. Nishant Shetty and his team is they focus on tooth restoration. They do not recommend costly procedures if it is not needed. That builds trust. I came here twice for tooth cavity filling and I happy with the procedure both times.

Visited the clinic for general dental checkup and teeth cleaning. Loved the experience. Doctors are very patient and make you feel so comfortable. Dr. Nishanth will not make you go for any unnecessary treatment unless it's absolutely required unlike other dentists out there who keep telling you to do this and that.

Very genuine consultation. I was falsely told to get a root canal done by another dental clinic. I wasn't convinced since I had no pain. I visited this place on recommendation and they accurately diagnosed my gum issue and treated the same. Highly recommend this clinic.

Excellent friendly doctor, rare to find in Bangalore, or should say India. Not at all frightening about our dental problem. Diagnoses well the problem; and devises solution. Highly recommend doctor Nishant and his team. I am falling short of words to write good about him. First doctor in my life who didn't charge anything for consultation and x-ray. My good wishes to Dr Nishant!
