Another important thing to take care of is that the anesthetic being used in the
operation can easily cause temporary numbness in oral parts as well as nose and lips etc. Although it is a temporary kind of a feeling which subsides with the passage of time but it can bother you if you are not prepared for that. Normally after a tooth surgery the 1st phase is the formation of blood clot which makes sure there isn't any more bleeding and the operated gum can recover quickly. All the related things which can delay the clot formation should be immediately stopped for at least a week. Many doctors now-a-days advise oral rinsing solutions and mouthwashes for patients, they are meant for killing any harmful germs and bacterial organisms and also provide an alternative to general brushing which is prohibited after the operation. Apart from all these measures some general precautions like forbidding from spicy food, high-pressure activities like blowing air into a balloon etc and other habits like chewing tobacco or any other solid material ensure you have the quickest of recoveries after a dental operation. Just remember one thing, the teeth are the doors to your whole body and a strong and immune door can ensure a healthy body.
