5. What Should You Do After A Tooth Extraction?

After getting a tooth pulled, it's super important to take good care of your teeth and gums to avoid dry sockets. Take it easy for the first 24 hours and try to keep activity to a minimum. If you're feeling pain, you can take some painkillers to help with that, and using an ice pack can reduce any swelling. Stick to soft foods for a bit, and make sure to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
