Symptoms after tooth extraction

summary

Most people have had the experience of tooth extraction, which can be described as a bitter process. We usually think that after tooth extraction, it will be OK. When the problem is solved, we can eat what we want. In fact, it is not. We should take good care before and after tooth extraction. Especially after tooth extraction, the wound is still in an unhealed state, and it is easy to be infected, especially virus or bacterial infection. What are the symptoms after tooth extraction? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Symptoms after tooth extraction

After tooth extraction, under normal circumstances, the clot can be formed after about 20 minutes by tampon compression, but within 24 hours, there will be a small amount of bleeding in the tooth extraction wound, showing a small amount of blood in saliva, which is a normal phenomenon. If there is still obvious bleeding after several hours, it is called abnormal bleeding after tooth extraction.

There is no obvious pain in the extraction wound after tooth extraction, and there is no discomfort after 24 hours. However, if there is alveolar process injury, sharp alveolar edge, surrounding soft tissue injury, foreign body in extraction wound, dry socket and other inflammation or adjacent tooth injury, continuous pain can occur and last for many days. For the abnormal pain after tooth extraction, in addition to analgesia, it should be treated according to the etiology.

Due to the rich blood supply and strong anti infectivity in oral and maxillofacial region, postoperative acute infection rarely occurs. However, when the local inflammation of the affected teeth is obvious, especially when the surgical trauma is large, the operation time is long or the patient's general condition is low, postoperative bacteremia, perimaxillofacial cellulitis, and even sepsis can occur. Patients with rheumatic heart disease can develop bacterial endocarditis. We should check carefully and grasp the indication of operation strictly; Anti infection measures should be taken in time after acute infection.

matters needing attention

It's best to choose a regular hospital or clinic for tooth extraction. Don't go to places with poor sanitary conditions or no qualification for tooth extraction. This can easily lead to some adverse consequences. In addition, if you are not suitable for tooth extraction at that time, such as inflammation, you need to eliminate inflammation first, and don't rush to tooth extraction, which can easily cause bad effects.
