Oral Hygiene
Careful Cleaning
Have your child avoid cleaning near the extraction site for 24 hours after the procedure, while continuing to brush and floss their other teeth as usual.
The next day, the child can start normally cleaning the teeth near the extraction site and should gently rinse their mouth daily with warm, salted water to prevent infection and promote healing.

Diet and Nutrition
Soft Diet
Offer soft foods that don’t require vigorous chewing.
Avoid Straws
Discourage the use of straws, as they can dislodge the blood clot.

Follow-Up Appointments
Scheduled Check-up
Ensure your child attends any follow-up appointments as scheduled for proper healing assessment.
