Removing baby teeth in children is sometimes unavoidable. However, proper care and attention after the extraction of a baby tooth can both accelerate the healing process and support the healthy development of permanent teeth. At Dehadent, we provide guidance to families on what to do after the extraction of a baby tooth.

Why Is Baby Tooth Extraction Necessary?

• Extensive decay or infection
• Mobility of the tooth or support for the process of shedding
• Creating space before orthodontic treatment

Things to Consider After Baby Tooth Extraction

1. Controlling Bleeding

After the extraction, gauze should be gently bitten and pressure applied for 20-30 minutes. Bleeding usually stops within this time.

2. Managing Pain and Swelling

Pain relievers recommended by the doctor can be used. Cold compresses are helpful to reduce swelling.

3. Dietary Recommendations

For the first 24 hours, choose soft, warm foods. Hot and hard foods should be avoided.

4. Pay Attention to Oral Hygiene

The extraction site should not be brushed vigorously, but other teeth should be carefully cleaned. Rinsing is not recommended for the first day.

5. Avoid Physical Activity

Excessive activity can increase bleeding, so rest is essential.

Additional Recommendations from Dehadent

• Bring your child in for a post-extraction checkup.
• If you notice signs of infection at the extraction site (excessive pain, swelling, or a foul odor), consult your dentist immediately.
• Maintain regular dental checkups to ensure healthy permanent teeth emerge.
